Cracker Pudding? Does anyone have this recipe?

Question

We had cracker pudding in Lancaster, Pa at the restaurant 'Good and Plenty'. They said it was a local favorite. I'd love to make this at home, help?

Answer 1

Cracker Pudding is a Pennysylvania Dutch favorite. Here's a recipe:

1 quart milk (recipe suggests whole milk)
1 cup coconut, shredded
1 cup saltine crackers, finely crushed
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs, separated

Mix all ingredients except eggs.
Bring to a boil, stirring often.
Beat 2 egg yolks.
Slowly stir in the yolks to the other ingredients.
Cook on medium to medium-high for 30 minutes, or until thickened, stirring often (mine only took about 20 minutes).
Pour into a glass baking dish (I use a round one).
Beat the 2 egg whites until they peak.
With a spoon, add dollops of the egg whites over the top of the pudding.
The egg whites should not be spread, just dropped by the spoonfuls around the top of pudding.
Broil until egg whites are browned.
Refrigerate until fully chilled.
