Home-made Pudding: a terrific (frugal) treat!

A favorite treat around here is home-made pudding.  It’s reasonably cheap, reasonably healthy, and really, really yummy.
Here’s the recipe that we use:

Vanilla Pudding

2 1/2 - 3 cups milk
1/4 cup cornstarch
Mix in a sauce pan, and heat over medium heat, stirring continuously, until it's thickened

Add in:

1/2 cup brown sugar
pinch salt
1/4 cup margarine or butter
2 tsp vanilla

Stir until butter is melted.  Then enjoy warm, or refridgerate until cool.

It’s a super bed-time snack for a cool evening!
