MICROWAVE VANILLA PUDDING 
1/4 c. cornstarch
2 c. milk
2 tbsp. butter
1/2 c. sugar
2 slightly beaten eggs
1 tsp. vanilla

In medium size glass bowl, combine cornstarch and sugar with whisk. Stir in milk slowly. Cook on high power 5 to 7 minutes or until thickened, stirring every 2 minutes. Beat half of hot mixture into the eggs. Blend egg mixture into remaining hot mixture. Microwave on high for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes or until thickened, stirring every 45 seconds. With whisk, stir in butter and vanilla. Pour into dessert dishes; cover and refrigerate.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.

 Connie (Wyoming) says:
Just tried this, I doubled the recipe as I like plain vanilla and the kids want bananas added to theirs. It is delicious, so good that I ate a serving warm. Will definitely make it again.

 Sonja K. (New Brunswick) says:
I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the pudding didn't form a skin. However it tasted a little starchy and I must not have mixed it very well because I had to strain out tiny lumps of cornstarch. This recipe is very easy to turn into chocolate, I just dropped semi-sweet chocolate chips into the still warm pudding until the flavor is right.

This is very good and super easy! And for those of us who don't care for using cornstarch, instead of the 1/4 cup of cornstarch, use 1/2 cup of all purpose flour. You can substitute flour for all your cornstarch recipes this way, as long as it is used as a thickener.

I've made this for years. It's my husband's favorite. Makes great banana pudding. I misplaced the recipe for a while and my husband was so relieved when I found it.

How can you have a pudding if you don't add the eggs?

Pudding doesn't need eggs. But custard does.
