I need recipes for making homemade instant pudding mixes for a friend living in Egypt where they are not available. I found some at your site through google: http://www.practicalkitchen.com/dess...ng_mixes.shtml
However this is the wrong type for what I need. My friend wants to use them for recipes that require adding a box of pudding to the flour in cake and bread recipes. That would be the instant type pudding mixes not the type you need to boil, which is what is posted at the link I found. The non cook type use something other than cornstarch to thicken as they set cold. Can you help?
This is the one I have for instant type pudding. All the others I found online have to be cooked. Hope this helps.

Thanks Lila I'll look for the clear Jell. Kitty I'm sure the recipe you found is missing the instruction to cook it. The thickening agent is cornstarch which does not thicken until heated.
I'm still looking for a recipe. I, too, found some online but they all needed to be cooked and yes, I found the one listed and it is missing cooking instructions. I will check into my old cookbooks and see if I can find anything. I'll post it if I find it.

You will need instant Clear Jell for making the instant pudding mixes. There is regular Clear Jell, which is for cooking, and the instant Clear Jell. You order it online. I normally get it from www.barryfarm.com, but there are other places,too.
One site also has recipes for using it. Not sure if it Barry Farm,too, or not.
Clear Jell is a modified cornstarch. It is the same type of thickener used in the commercial food industry. The cooked makes great pie fillings,too.
The Clear jell will not break down when frozen,either, like regular cornstarch.
Does anyone know if this is the same stuff you use for canning? I'm suspecting it is and if so, the link listed for the Ingredient store is one heck of a bargain. Clear Jel here is close to $3.50 for about 1 oz.

If you want to make cooked pudding then use the regular Clear Jell, if you want to make instant pudding, then use the Instant Clear Jell. There are two types.
The regular is what you use for canning pie fillings.
It is a special modified corn starch. It will not break down during freezing either, in gravies.
