Aunt Saunny
3 cups instant nonfat dry milk
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups cornstarch
1 vanilla bean
Mix the dry milk, sugar, salt and cornstarch until the ingredients are well blended. Cut the vanilla bean into several large pieces and stir them into the mix, seeds and all. Store mix in an airtight canister or tightly covered jar.
TO USE:
2 cups milk
1/2 cup vanilla pudding mix
Be sure to stir the vanilla pudding mix before measuring out 1/2 cup mix into a saucepan. Add 2 cups milk and stir well. Cook over low heat, stirring, until mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Continue cooking and stirring for 1 minute, remove from heat, and pour into individual serving dishes. Pudding will thicken further as it cools.
VARIATION: For a richer tasting pudding, try cooking as directed and after taking the pudding off the heat, stir in an egg, lightly beaten, along with 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon sweet butter. Cover and let sit for a minute or two, uncover and stir, and then pour into the individual serving dishes.
Yield: 4 servings.
