Maple Pudding


This pudding from "The Basics and More Cook Book" is so simple I could hardly believe it.  Beating the egg in with the sugar, flour and some of the milk eliminated any clumping often associated with pudding.  I liked the combination of flour and cornstarch better than all flour for the thickener.  Be sure you use a large or extra-large egg for thickening power. 
This isn’t as sweet-tasting as purchased pudding mixes.  I served it with some fresh whipped cream and a sprinkle of pecans.

                              Maple Pudding
     2/3    cup  Brown Sugar
     1/3    cup  Flour, All-purpose -- or 1/4 cup flour and 1 tablespoons cornstarch
     1/3    cup  Milk
   1          large  Eggs -- beaten
  1 2/3    cups  Milk -- heated
   4          Teaspoons  Butter
     1/2    Teaspoon  Maple Flavoring
     1/2    Teaspoon  Vanilla Extract
Mix sugar with flour, then mix with first amount of the milk.  Add sugar mixture to beaten eggs.  Bring the remaining milk to a boil.  Add egg mixture. 
Cook over medium until thick, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes.  Remove from heat and add butter.  Stir in flavoring and chill, covered with plastic wrap right down on the pudding to prevent forming a skin on top.

  3. Nancy,
    I don't think you can make that substitution with this recipe. I think it would take a lot of tinkering to make that substitution successful.
