Baked Indian Pudding

3 1/2 quarts milk, 3 tablespoons cornmeal, 1/2 pint molasses, 3 tablespoons Crisco, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ginger. Boil 1 quart milk; add to it molasses, Crisco, salt, and spices, and lastly meal stirred smooth with little cold milk; scald whole together, and turn into a well Criscoed baking dish.

When it begins to crust over, stir it all up from bottom, and add 1 pint of cold milk. Repeat process every 1/2 hour, or oftener if pudding browns too fast, till 5 pints are used; then let it bake till done-6 hours in all. Serve hot with sauce of grated or granulated maple sugar stirred into rich cream, and kept very cold till needed.
