Do you use “instant” or cook & serve pudding mix ?

That is a really good question! I did some research, and it looks like most people use instant pudding. :-)

I just made these and they aren’t very good. It’s possible my baking powder needs to be replaced because they didn’t rise, but they have an aftertaste and leave a film on my teeth. I wouldn’t serve them to anyone. I used instant Jell-o and I wonder if cook and serve would be better.

Hi, and thanks so much for letting us know your experience with this recipe – and I’m sorry it didn’t turn out well. Looking at the recipe as originally printed, I see it does not specify instant pudding mix, and since it’s from the 1960s, that is likely to mean it uses the cook & serve type. I have updated the recipe card based on your feedback. :-)
