Blanc Mange

Combine the cornstarch, sugar, salt and water. Slowly add 1 cup scalded milk, stirring constantly and cook over medium heat until thick and smooth. Add 1/2 tsp vanilla.

Can be poured into wetted molds and chilled or into any pretty serving dish or single servers. Chill and serve with a well flavored sauce. I like to heat Apple caramel dip and thin it with milk or cream to drizzle on the pudding.

COOK'S NOTES:

Blanc Mange, which is French for "White Food" turns out to be plain old cornstarch pudding.
