This recipe came from a Betty Crocker Cookbook, 1972. I have since lost that book, however, I have always made my pudding, pies including the best banana pudding you will ever taste! I have altered the recipe to cook in the microwave, and have included stove top directions also. Every time I take this to a potluck, I have to give out recipes-so I thought I would just refer them here! I use this crust Pie Crust - Blue Ribbon Enjoy! Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar |
1/4 cup cornstarch |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |

2 teaspoons vanilla |
