I'm sure you've found a basic vanilla pudding recipe by now, but I'm really curious what you didn't like about the Blancmange....the mouthfeel? texture? maybe miss the chemicals in Jello pudding?????? (that's a joke )
I'm thinking maybe you were looking for the flavor eggs and butter would give the pudding, so is this more of what you were thinking?
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/3 cup sugar
2 cups milk
2 eggs, slightly beaten
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
In a medium-size glass bowl, combine cornstarch and sugar. With a whisk gradually stir milk into the cornstarch mixture. Cook in the microwave on high power for 5-7 minutes or until thickened and bubbling, stirring aftereach 2-minute interval.
Beat half of the hot mixture into the eggs. Blend above egg mixture into remaining hot mixture.
Microwave on high power for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes, or until thickened and heated through; stirring after each 45 seconds of cooking. With a whisk, stir in butter and vanilla.
Pour into dessert dishes. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.

I just made the Blancmange and it tastes really good to me - I'm going to unmold them and nap with a little chocoate sauce for dessert.
