1/3 c. flour
1/3 c. sugar
2 egg yolks
2 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla

ADDITIONS:

1 banana or
1 drained can crushed pineapple or
3 tbsp. cocoa (added with dry ingredients) or
1 c. shredded coconut

Mix dry ingredients in saucepan. Make well in them with spoon. Place yolks in it; stir them and gradually add milk, stirring constantly. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until temperature comes to a slight boil. Pudding should then be thick so that stirring spoon leaves a mark (line) as it moves through pudding.

Add vanilla and whatever flavors desired (ie. banana, pineapple, or coconut or combine all three with maraschino cherries and chopped nuts for a super mixed pudding). These can be used in a pre-baked or graham cracker pie shell for a pie.

If making chocolate, put cocoa in with flour/sugar mixture at beginning.
