Ingredients

3 cups water

1 cup sugar

1 cup water

3/4 cup dry milk powder

3 ounces vanilla (cooked type) pudding mix

1/2 cup cornstarch ; plus 2 tablespoons

1 egg

Directions

Bring 3 cups water and sugar to a boil in a saucepan.

In a bowl, combine the remaining ingredients with a whisk until smooth.

When the sugar syrup has come to a boil and the sugar is completely dissolved, add the milk mixture to the pan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with the whisk until the mixture thickens (only takes a few minutes).

Remove from heat and stir in your favorite flavoring or use plain for vanilla cream pie or pudding.

Pour into baked pie shell.
