I make puddings several times a week in the summer, and almost that frequently in the winter months. I add eggs to the mixture when I cook it, though as enrichment.

I do not go through all that stuff with taking some hot pudding, mixing it with the eggs, then pouring it all back into the pudding pot. I just beat the eggs and add them before the mixture gets warm, and keep stirring. It works just as well.

This mix is going to be a great time-saver. Thanks so much for sharing.
