From the internet, I figured out on the hob is the on the stove but if I use the amount of liquid called for, the mixture is very thin when warm. I cut down the milk to 1 1/2 cups and when cool, it was still thinish and not really sweet. Is that how it's supposed to be? I'm used to our thick sweet puddings.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />EdieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687817399137597581.post-85697257692260735932010-05-12T11:42:00.100+01:002010-05-12T11:42:00.100+01:00Wow!
