My first time making a cornmeal pudding I think this recipe is pretty good. I messed up the custard part cuz it kind of mixed in with the pudding instead of sitting on top. But I will try it again

My first time making this as the only Yankee in the family. Everyone said I killed it...spot on! For anyone trying this it takes about 45mins to an hour to set then you add the custard and stick it back in for another 15-20mins. Made my mom so happy.

So my question about this recipe is; how is it to set in 15mins? Shouldn't the recipe say set 30-45mins then pour on the custard mixture and place in the oven for another day 15mins?
