Answer 1

Vanilla Pudding

Yield: 2 cups


1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup Corn Starch
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 3/4 cups milk
2 tablespoons margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla

In medium saucepan combine sugar, corn starch and salt. Gradually stir in milk until smooth.


Stirring constantly, bring to boil over medium heat and boil 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in margarine and vanilla.


Pour into serving bowls. Cover; refrigerate.

Corn starch is always a good thickening agent for pudding, pie filling or gravy.

This pudding works great with bananas and vanilla wafers if you like banana pudding. Another idea is to serve in individual desert dishes lined with ladyfingers (optional), top with whipped cream and fresh berries (strawberries or raspberries are my favorite).

Answer 2

HERE IS A OLD ONE Reserve one gill [a gill is equal to 1 half cup] of milk from a quart, and put the remainder on the fire in a double-boiler. Mix three tablespoonfuls of cornstarch with the cold milk. Beat two eggs with half a cupful of powdered sugar and half a teaspoonful of salt. Add this to the cornstarch and milk, and stir into the boiling milk, beating well for a minute. Shave fine two ounces of Walter Baker & Co.'s Premium No. 1 Chocolate, and put it into a small pan with four tablespoonfuls of sugar and two of boiling water. Stir over a hot fire until smooth and glossy; then beat into the hot pudding. Cook the pudding in all ten minutes, counting from the time the eggs and cornstarch are added. Serve cold with powdered sugar and cream. This pudding can be poured while hot into little cups which have been rinsed in cold water. At serving time turn out on a flat dish, making a circle, and fill the center of the dish with whipped cream flavored with sugar and vanilla. The eggs may be omitted, in which case use one more tablespoonful of cornstarch.

Answer 3

With vanilla pudding - whipped cream is best and if you want it thicker follow directions given on the box for making a pie filling - it uses less milk and do not use instant pudding, rather the cook type

Answer 4

If it's really homemade from scratch, add an extra egg yoke. What goes well with it is putting in some raisins or putting on some brown sugar.

Answer 5

A pinch of corn starch will do the trick.

I'm not a big fan of pudding so you are on your own with the other part.

Answer 6

add some more water or low fat milk
