Instant Clear Jel is pregelatinized cornstarch but it is not available in many

grocery stores. However I found places selling it on the internet. You

can find more information at

www.bluechipgroup.net/articles/clearjelcomparisons.htm or if you type " clear

Jel " into a search, you may find more results.

There's not much out there on instant (non-cook) pudding mixes.

Here's a little bit of information I found. Maybe the recipe below

will help you get started in formulating a new recipe. I haven't any

idea what to use in place of egg yolks. Karen in Ohio

 

Title: Instant puddings

Board: Make Ahead Cooking and Mixes at Recipelink.com

 

Instant puddings have as one of their ingredients pre-gelatinised

starch which makes them an " add milk and sitr " commodity.

 

Gelatinized starch is a pre-cooked starch that is used as a

thickener. After cooking the liquid mixture of starch, fluid and

additives it is dried into a powder. When a liquid is added to this

pre-gelatinized starch, as in an instant pudding mix, it re-forms

into the thickened consistency of a cooked starch.

 

Versatile Pudding Mix

5 quarts instant nonfat dry milk powder 3½ cups sugar

1¾ cups cornstarch 2¼ teaspoons salt

 

Additional Ingredients for Vanilla Pudding: 2 cups water, 1 whole egg

yolk -- lightly beaten, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

 

Additional Ingredients for Chocolate Pudding: ¼ cup baking cocoa, 2

cups water, 1 whole egg yolk -- lightly beaten, 2 teaspoons vanilla

extract

 

In large bowl, whisk together the first 4 ingredients. Store in an

airtight container or resealable plastic bag for up to 1 year.

Yield: about 10 batches (21 cups total)

 

To prepare VANILLA PUDDING: -- In a saucepan, combine 2 cups pudding

mix and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.

Remove from the heat. Gradually stir about 1 cup hot mixture into egg

yolk; return all to the pan. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir for 2

minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Pour into dessert dishes.

Refrigerate.

Yield: 6 servings per batch.

To prepare CHOCOLATE PUDDING: -- Add the cocoa to 2 cups pudding mix.

Prepare according to directions for vanilla pudding.

Yield: 6 servings per batch.

 

And here's another pudding mix recipe I found using clear jel:

Vanilla Pudding

1/3 c. instant dry milk or powdered substitute

1/2 c. sugar

1/3 c. clear jel

1/4 t. salt

Combine dry ingredients. Add 2 cup cold milk & 1/4 t. vanilla. Mix

in blender or mixer. Thin if needed. May vary with lemon, coconut,

etc. Add more sugar with cocoa.
