ingredients
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons sugar
3 grains salt
2 tablespoons water
1 cup scalded milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
directions
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.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
reviews & comments
I am extremely eager to try this recipe out as it's not easy to find interesting recipes that don't require an oven (as my sorry apartment had no appliances, not even an air conditioner!) or a great deal more standing than someone in need of a hip transplant can manage. I am currently rereading Little Women, and I was curious as to what blanc mange was because Joe had brought some to "the Laurence boy" when he had a cold. LOL I'm quite pleased that my search led me to this site and hope to return often!
