Pudding Mix

During quarantine, I purchased a box from a local restaurant that included a gallon of milk,  We don't go through milk very fast, so I found myself with not only bananas to use up, but milk.  I pulled out my trusty Amish cookbook and found a Pudding Mix recipe.  You read that right - Pudding Mix.  When you make pudding, if you want to avoid the skin on top, push plastic wrap onto the top.

1/2 Cup Corn Starch

1 Cup Flour

1 1/2 Cups Sugar

1 Tsp Salt

Mix well and store in an air tight container.

Okay, that is the mix, now what about the milk????

Time to make pudding!
