Categories: Desserts
     Yield: 80 Servings

MMMMM-------------------------BASIC MIX------------------------------
     3 c  Instant nonfat dry milk
     1 ts Salt
     3 c  Corn starch
     1    Vanilla bean

MMMMM------------------TO MAKE MIX INTO PUDDING-----------------------
     2 c  Milk
   1/2 c  Basic mix

 Mix the dry milk, sugar, salt and corn starch until the ingredients
 are will blended. Cut the vanilla bean into several large pieces
 and stir them into the mix, seeds and all. Store mix in an
 airtight cannister or tightly covered jar.

 To use:

 Stir the mix in the cannister before measuring out 1/2 c mix into a
 saucepan. Add 2 c milk and cook over low heat, stirring, until
 mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Continue 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 after taking
 the pudding off the heat, stir in an egg lightly beaten with 1/2 ts
 Vanilla Bean Extract, and 1 tb sweet butter into the pudding. Cover
 and let sit for a minute or two, uncover and stir, and then pour
 into the individual serving dishes.
