"Puddings are so easy and foolproof I don't understand why they are not more popular. Perhaps the "instant" products on the market have led cooks to believe that scratch puddings were time consuming and difficult. In fact, you can throw this dessert together in little more than 5 minutes. Because of the cornstarch thickener in the base, the added egg can be cooked over direct heat with no danger of curdling. Just be sure to use a heavy saucepan, keep the heat moderate, and reach all parts of the bottom of the pan with your whisk to prevent scorching. The one hour of chilling is NOT included in the cook time."
