Reader offers her own historical recipe

Editor: 

I really enjoy Roberta McKern’s monthly museum stories.

Her latest ended with “poor man’s pudding,” which did not set me salivating, because I herewith share with you Waffle Sauce:

Start heating almost 2 cups of milk in a pan; don’t boil it.

Put about 1/2 cup of milk into a mug.

Add 1/2 cup of sugar, 

2 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch, 

a pinch of salt. 

Stir well to dissolve cornstarch. 

Pour mug contents into pan of milk and heat, stirring it until it starts to thicken somewhat.

Add 1 tsp vanilla, stir, and pour into a pitcher (Pyrex?). Serve hot over waffles. 

Enjoy!

Of course, you could toss in blueberries or whatever appeals to you.
