3/4 c Sugar

2 T Cornstarch

1/4 t Salt

2 c Milk

2 T Butter

1 t Vanilla

---------------------------FOR CHOCOLATE PUDDING--------------------------- 2 oz Unsweetened chocolate

-----------------------------FOR BANANA PUDDING----------------------------- 2 Bananas, chopped

--------------------------FOR BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING-------------------------- Brown sugar instead of white -1 T extra butter Blend sugar, flour and salt. Gradually add milk, mixing well. Cook and stir until smooth, thickened and clear. At this point, add any ingredients necessary for variations. Stir a little of the pudding into beaten egg, then return to pudding. (If you heat the egg too quickly, it'll cook a little. It's unsightly, but it'll still taste pretty good.) Add butter and vanilla, mix well, and chill in fridge. This is delicious hot, too!
