Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry milk solids, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt until thoroughly combined.
  2. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container for storage.
  3. To prepare pudding, shake the container to redistribute the mix, then measure out 1/4 cup of the mix for every 2 servings.
  4. In a small saucepan, combine the measured pudding mix, 1 cup of milk, and 1 tablespoon of margarine.
  5. Place the saucepan over low heat and whisk constantly to prevent lumps.
  6. Continue heating and stirring until the mixture comes to a gentle boil and thickens.
  7. Once boiling, cook for 1 minute while stirring continuously to ensure the cornstarch is fully cooked.
  8. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  9. Pour the hot pudding into individual serving dishes.
  10. Refrigerate until chilled and thickened before serving.

Note

Storage: Keep the dry mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

Variations: For a spiced version, add 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg or all-purpose baking spice to the dry mix before preparing. For a maple variation, replace the milk with 1/4 cup maple syrup and 3/4 cup milk, and reduce vanilla extract to 1/4 teaspoon.

Tip: Stir the dry mix well before measuring to ensure even distribution of cornstarch and salt.

Serving: Pudding will thicken further as it chills in the refrigerator.
