  1. 10 minutes on the stove at the boil, a little extra vanilla extract(1 tsp), whisking rather than stirring... and the baby LOVED it! I used cornstarch... I assumed that it's the same as cornflour, but really am not sure, though it worked just fine.
     
  2. I only have a microwave and made a half batch. I also used plain soy and added 1/2 tsp vanilla, and yes, cornstarch. Brought soy milk to the boil, added in the mix and stirred, heated again Its more like drinking custard, than what I expected, but still good! Really good for those who need a few cups of soy milk a day, but are sick of drinking it. (3.5 stars)
     
  3. Needs to be a little thicker, so I added more starch. I added extract of almond and more vanilla (the paste). For fun, I tried mixing it with brown rice and dried fruit. It made a great breakfast rice pudding. This is very easy and good when you don't want to fool with eggs.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm an ex-pat NZer living in the tropical Top End of Australia. Which makes it a perfect place to make homemade bread and summer recipes all year around. I experiment on my 3 kids who have grown up trying new Zaar recipes every other day and they are thriving. I'm the lacto-ovo vegetarian in the family and somehow I got roped in to become a Forum Host here at Zaar. So check out the Vegetarian and Vegan Forum http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=43 and feel free to join in whether you are a fully fledged vegan or someone who needs to cater for a vegetarian and has no idea where to start. Every year I try to do something a bit different to push the envelope a little bit. In 2005 I learned how to sail a dinghy; 2006's grand passion is mosaics. Check out my blog! Between raising three children, working almost fulltime and trying to pursue my hobbies...let's say that my time management skills have greatly improved over the years! I am also very interested in living a sustainable lifestyle. Essentially I'm finding that I'm getting back to the country lifestyle I enjoyed in my childhood even though these days I live in themiddle of suburbia. To this end I have started gardening although I am a total gardening virgin when it comes to gardening in a tropical climate. I also have a cookbook with a number of recipes you can make from scratch. Living clean and green is good for you AND cheaper!
