Growing up in northern Nevada, I spent many Saturdays at my grandparent's ranch while my dad and older brother worked the cows, bailed hay, etc. Often finding myself at loose ends, a favorite activity was making Grape-Nuts custards with my granny. She had carefully copied the recipe in her own hand from the back of a box of cereal, which was for individual custards with Grape-nuts sprinkled on top. She patiently taught me how to heat the milk without scalding it, add the eggs without scrambling them, etc. If she didn't have Grape-Nuts, we would sprinkle the custards with nutmeg. I still remember the anticipation of watching them cook in the oven, and I have loved custard to this day. Granny has been gone for fifteen years, and I have no idea where the recipe ended up, but I am going to make this recipe in her honor. I might just make some individual custards and sprinkle them with cereal too!
Thank you for stirring a cherished memory.
