Have you wanted some pudding, to just eat or for a recipe but didn’t have any in the pantry? Well now you will be able to just make your own and it won’t have all the extra stuff that is in store-bought, plus this just tastes so much better. And it is easy to make.

Basic Pudding Mix

8 cups Powder Milk

4 cups sugar

4 cups Corn Starch

1 teaspoon salt

Stir together all ingredients until well blended.  Store in a covered container. Attach a tag with mixing instructions.

For Pudding

1 Cup of mix

3 cups boiling water

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 Tablespoon Butter

Place one cup of the mix in a small saucepan.  Slowly add 3 cups of boiling water, stirring as you add the water.  Cook over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly until the mixture is thickened. Add 1 tablespoon of butter at the end of the cooking time once the mixture has thickened.

For Lemon

Omit vanilla and add 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 tablespoon lemon zest.
