I haven't quite given up yet. Luckily, it's made with pantry items and doesn't take long so I may whip up another batch tonight and see what happens.

Thanks for the encouragement.

I'm sorry April! You can do this one though. You can. :)

Try turning up the heat on your stove until the pudding comes to a good simmer. Then cook for a couple minutes more. You have to stir the whole time through this.

The cornstarch might just really need to come to a good simmer before it works as a thickener.

I hope you'll try again. This one you really can do.

I made this last night and it never pudding'd. I may have to eat as a syrup. It tastes good, but it's still liquid after chilling overnight. I'll check on it after work. *sigh* Looks like I'll be sticking to appetizers and side dishes. I just wasn't meant to do desserts.

What a classic! I only learned late in college that making pudding was so so easy. Even if you go with a richer egg version, it's not that tough and way healthier than getting the chemicals in a box. This looks soul-satisfying for real.

do you know what would be really super good with this? those almond roca mishapes!!! I'll have to go through my old Better Homes and Garden Cookbook. The one I have use to be my husbands mothers. :)

according to this article in the ny times:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/23/dining/23appetite.html

americans started using cornstarch instead of eggs after someone came up with it as a replacement for someone with an egg allergy. it is much quicker to use cornstarch and became the tradition here. the first boxed pudding was made in 1918. i just happened to read this article and then saw yours when researching pudding recipes:)

This looks to-die-for!!!

2010-03-04T17:18:47.401-08:00

Just like brownies and cakes, I always wonder why people make pudding from a box. It's just not that hard to do any of it. Sometimes I laugh when a box asks for most of the ingredients that a "from scratch" recipe calls for....so then what is the point?!

Thanks for the reminder and recipe...looks great!

2010-03-04T15:00:55.806-08:00

Good point. Maybe when cornstarch was able to be used as a thickener when eggs were expensive in winter?

Eggs are better, no doubt, but this is good too.

2010-03-04T14:42:33.572-08:00

Yum :) Although you may be wondering when advertising made us think pudding came out of a box, I'm wondering when and why cooks eschewed eggs and a teeny bit of flour for blech-cornstarch. Eggs are the superior pudding-maker-thickener.

Oh, geez, Laura!!! That looks sensational!

This reminds me of my mom...she used to just fly in a 'I am making something sweet mood' and you never knew, but when the milk came out in the big pot...we knew...Pudding!

Oh, gosh. Anyone who has had REAL, homemade pudding wouldn't go back to that box. Ever! :)

Yes there is a "HUGE" difference between the box stuff and homemade. The homemade is so much better. I love this stuff and it is so easy to make. Beautiful photo like always :)
