Mix all ingredients together. Store in a container with a tight fitting lid.
To use for each pie, take out 1 cup of mix, and mix with 4 cups milk. Bring to a full boil on stove on medium heat , stirring constantly until thickened. Pour into pre-baked pie crust and let cool.
If you want different flavors like chocolate, add 3 tablespoons cocoa to the cup of dry mix before adding milk. Use 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for each pie.
For coconut pie: Add 1 cup of coconut to filling after its cooked and either add 1 teaspoon of vanilla or coconut flavoring for each pie.
For lemon pie: Add 1/2 pkg. dry unsweetened lemonade Kool-aid to dry mix. Add milk and if its not sweet enough; add sugar to your taste. After it cooks, add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest.

Very interested in making this but how much cornstarch is in a box, ours come by weight in the UK. Hope you can help.
What about using dried powdered egg or egg white powder to the mix or when cooking?
Thanks
Can I assume that a box of cornstarch is a one pound box that is usual size found in supermarkets? Can this be halved?
It's a 1 pound box or 454g and you use the full amount. I assume you could make half the recipe. My cousin always made the full amount, and just stored what was left in a jar with a tight fitting lid.
If you want a richer pie you can add a couple of eggs while your cooking it. Just be sure to temper the eggs before you put into the hot liquid. I'm allergic to eggs, so I always make it without them.
Thanks for your prompt response re the cornstarch. Will try it. And also, thanks for the extra tip re eggs.
I was about to ask how much corn starch was in the box but saw you had already answered it. And the egg hint sounds good, too. I'll try the recipe, thanks.
Tried to message you no luck so will try this way.
Think I have been looking for this recipe-did your cousin get this recipe from restaurant in Sallisaw? If so Perfect.
