  and stir them into the mix, seeds and all. Store mix in an
  airtight cannister or tightly covered jar.
  
  To use:

  Stir the mix in the cannister before measuring out 1/2 c mix into a

  For a richer tasting pudding, try cooking as directed after taking
  the pudding off the heat, stir in an egg lightly beaten with 1/2 ts
  Vanilla Bean Extract, and 1 tb sweet butter into the pudding. Cover
  and let sit for a minute or two, uncover and stir, and then pour
  into the individual serving dishes.
