Bon Appetite - A Weekend Treat: CRACKER PUDDING


My contemporary novel, KEY TO LOVE, is currently on sale for $0.99 for the entire month of October. In the novel, Lucas Fisher, the main hero, is trying to get custody of his little nephew, Todd Fisher, now orphaned because of his father’s death in a car accident. Todd loves eating animal crackers. This recipe is a great one—but you must use “oyster crackers.”

 
CRACKER PUDDING
 

1 qt. milk
½ cup flour
½ to ¾ cup sugar
½ tsp salt
1 egg
½ cup coconut
1 cup crushed oyster crackers

Let milk come to a boil. Mix flour, sugar, salt
and egg into a batter. Add the batter, coconut
and crackers to the milk and cook until thick.
