Pudding...

Coco powder, flour and corn starch often clump if you are not careful when mixing them into a liquid. You can avoid this problem by shaking them up in a large container, rather than mixing with a spoon or whisk...

Chocolate pudding...

In a sauce pan on medium heat, melt one tablespoon of butter.

In a large sealable container add...
half a cup coco powder.
half a cup sugar.
3 tablespoons corn starch.

seal the container and vigorously shake until combined.

Now pour two cups of milk into the container, quickly reseal it and vigorously shake some more

pour the mixture into the sauce pan. Stir often with a spatula. Don't walk away-- the mixture can quickly develope a thick layer on the bottom of the pan.

When the mixture starts to thicken and simmer, set the temperature to low and let simmer for one minute more.

Pour into four dishes

You can add some frozen fruit and serve hot, or put the dishes in the refrigerator and serve later cold.
