Cornstarch Pudding

3/4 c. sugar
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
1/4 tsp. salt
2 c. milk
2 Tbsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract or flavoring

For Chocolate Pudding
2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate

For Banana Pudding
2 bananas, chopped

For Butterscotch Pudding
Brown sugar instead of white
1 Tbsp. 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 very slowly into beaten egg, then return to pudding. (If you heat the egg too quickly, it will cook a little.) Add butter and vanilla extract or flavoring; mix well, and chill in the refrigerator.
