What and how much. Milk

Cornstarch Sugar Salt Chocolate or powdered cocoa (if desired) Vanilla

2 cups

4 tablespoonfuls

3 to 4 tablespoonfuls 1/8 teaspoonful

1 ounce

1/4 teaspoonful

How to make. You have seen your mother make laundry starch, have you not? Perhaps you have done it yourself.

The cornstarch must be mixed with a little of the milk cold and then stirred into the hot milk to cook half an hour. When will you add the sugar and salt, and the chocolate if you use it? Remember that if you put the vanilla in at first you will smell it as the pudding cooks. If it passes off as a fragrance, you will not have it as a flavor. When will you add it?
