I have made the Chocolate Pudding and it was excellent from
Betty Crocker's Cookbook. See Vanilla Pudding recipe below:

Vanilla Cream Pudding
1/3 cup sugar
2 Tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
2 egg yolks, slightly beaten
2 Tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla

Blend sugar, cornstarch and salt in a 2-quart saucepan. Combine milk and
egg yolks; gradually stir into sugar mixture. Cook over medium heat,
stirring constatly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir one
minute. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Pour into dessert
dishes. Cool slightly and chill

4 servings

Do not use soft-type margarine in this recipe
variations:
Butterscotch Pudding: Substitute 2/3 cup brown sugar packed for the
granulated sugar and decrease vanilla to one teaspoon.
Chocolate Pudding: Increase sugar to 1/2 cup and stir
1/3 cup cocoa into sugar-cornstarch mixture. Omit butter.
