Cornstarch Blanc Mange

This is an especially wholesome dessert for children. To make enough for five persons allow one pint of milk; one-half teaspoon of salt; one teaspoon of vanilla; two tablespoons of cornstarch; two tablespoons of sugar. Wet the cornstarch in one-half cup of the milk; then heat the rest of the milk in a milk-boiler and when it is boiling add the cornstarch. Cook eight or ten minutes and then put in the salt and sugar. Remove from the fire and when partly cooled add the vanilla. Turn the mixture into a pudding-dish that has been previously wet with cold water and set it away in a cool place. When cold and firm turn it out of the dish and serve with it a cream or chocolate sauce.
