Whisk flour, corn starch, salt and baking powder together in a small bowl. Reduce mixer speed to low. Add flour mixture to butter mixture in thirds, alternating with milk, until batter is smooth. Pour batter into prepared pans.
3. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely.

Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Pour pudding into shallow dish and cover surface with plastic wrap. Cool in refrigerator at least 2 hours or until no longer warm.

CHOCOLATE GLAZE:
