Delicate Indian Pudding

The egg-sugar mixture can be whisked together and held at room temperature for up to 1 hour before combining with the hot cornmeal. The finished pudding is actually best made 2-4 hours ahead and served warm or at room temperature, allowing the texture to fully set.

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 30-45 seconds or serve cold. The texture will firm up when chilled but softens slightly when reheated. The butter-syrup sauce should be made fresh before serving.
