Grape-Nut Custard Layered Pudding My Dad’s Way ~ New England Style
New Englanders love their Grape-Nut Pudding! There are two ways, mixed or layered. My preference is this layered way. The Grape-Nuts cereal and the custard magically separate into two separate layers. If you never had Grape-Nut Pudding, try this!
