How to Make American Poverty Pudding Circa 1933

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a deep 9x13 inch baking dish.
2. Spread 6 cups of corn flakes evenly in the prepared baking dish.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until well combined.
4. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup melted butter until smooth.
5. Optional: Sprinkle 1/2 cup raisins over the corn flakes in the baking dish.
6. Pour the wet ingredients evenly over the corn flakes in the baking dish.
7. Place the baking dish into a larger roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the baking dish (this creates a water bath for even baking).
8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pudding is set and lightly golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs.
9. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy a taste of history!
