How to Make Grape Nuts Custard In Nanny's Memory

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups Grape-Nuts cereal, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 4 cups milk. Set aside.
Grease a 2.5-quart casserole dish with butter.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until light and frothy.
Gently pour the egg mixture into the cereal and milk mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the custard mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
Bake for 60 minutes, or until a knife inserted halfway from the edge to the center comes out clean. (The center may appear slightly jiggly; carryover cooking will finish it.)
Do not overbake! Overbaking will result in a dry, hard custard.
Let cool completely before chilling in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Serve chilled. Optional: Top with whipped cream.
