Bouillie (Bouee) Pudding

As a young child my Grandma made a bouille (pudding) that I dearly loved. I never learned how to make it from her. Visiting my Nanny Ruby one day, I asked if she knew how to make it. She knew how but didn’t have a written recipe. She offered to make it after I begged her (lol) and I stood behind her, measured ingredients and wrote the recipe down. Nanny Ruby tells me that when I tasted it I teared up and said “It taste just like nostalgia.”

Ingredients

  • 3 cups milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/3 cups flour all-purpose
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Directions

Step 1

Over medium heat, bring the milk and vanilla just to a boil. While the milk is heating, combine the flour and water making sure there are NO lumps in the mixture.

Step 2

After the milk comes to a boil, add the flour/water mixture and the sugar. Stir constantly until desired consistency is reached or until mixture “turns” (about 1 to 1-1/2 minutes) to a pudding consistency. More or less liquid may be added to obtain desired consistency.

Add banana flavor for a banana pudding or coconut for sweet dough tart filling.
