I am looking for some pudding recipes (the old fashion kind) that are tried and true. Just simple ones like vanilla, chocolate or butterscotch. I am getting goat milk from a friend and she said to try making pudding with it. Since the milk is like gold to me (lol) I don’t want to waste it on a recipe that I don’t know from word of mouth works and tastes good.

What a most excellent question! Old fashioned pudding is one of those wonderful things I have no clue how to do, unless I run into an old 4-H book one of these days!! And they are soooo much better than the boxed stuff. Thanks so much for asking!

THAT’S what I got this Instant Clear Jel for….to make homemade instant pudding! I know you’re looking for the old fashioned cooking kind, but this request has finally reminded me what I wanted it for — I bought it almost a week ago and have been wondering ever since then 🙂 Thank you, Laura!

Laura, I found this in an old, falling apart cookbook printed in 1895 that belonged to my great-grandmother with a recipe for chocolate pudding.
Five tablespoonfuls of grated chocolate, ten tablespoonfuls of bread crumbs, one quart of milk, one cup of sugar, one teaspoonful of vanilla, yolks of four eggs. Put into a pudding dish and bake. When done make a meringue of the whites, spread over the top and return to the oven to brown.
This is verbatim from this book. As you can see directions, baking temperature and times are not listed. Apparently everyone knew how to make this without further instruction.
I have other cookbooks from years ago and if I find more recipes will post them.

Thanks Euni. It is funny how in those old cook books assumed knowledge is par for the course. The addition of bread crumbs was interesting—I wouldn’t have thought that would be in there, but back in the day I am sure they had a reason.
Oh Suzanne—–pudding could/would use up some of BP’s bounty. Did Georgia ever make homemade pudding?

I don’t know if Georgia made pudding or not. I have a couple old cookbooks I’ll check!

My mom and I took a trip today, so I asked her about pudding….I remember her making butterscotch pies. She said to look in the green cookbook (her 1948 Encyclopedic Cookbook that I have now), it would be marked. It was!!!
I’ll submit it and the chocolate/vanilla one, too.
