Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
  2. 2
    Grease a 1 1/2 quart souffle mold or pie plate with 1 Tablespoon of butter, set aside. Heat 3 cups of half-and-half in a saucepan until it is close to a boil. Add the cornmeal and reduce the heat to low. Stir until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the remaining butter, molasses, maple syrup, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and egg.
  3. 3
    Pour into the prepared dish. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, pour the remaining cup of cold half-and-half over the pudding and return to the oven. Cook for 1 1/2 hours to 1 3/4 hours until the top is brown and crisp. Serve warm with whipped cream or the following butterscotch cream.

    Butterscotch cream:
  5. 5
    In a heavy saucepan, heat the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter and salt. Cook until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture starts to bubble, about 5 minutes. Stir with a wooden spoon during the first 2 minutes but do not stir after that point. Remove the pan from the heat and very carefully add 1/2 cup of the cream. Let the sauce cool to room temperature. In a bowl combine the remaining cream (1 cup) and 1/3 cup of the butterscotch sauce. Beat on high until stiff peaks form, 2-3 minutes. Reserve the rest of the sauce to enjoy on any treat you like such as ice cream. And top your pudding with the beaten cream/butterscotch topping. Enjoy!
