Serves:
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 3/4 cups whole milk
- 3 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
-
Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth.
-
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and comes to a boil. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually whisk in about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the yolks.
-
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture, whisking constantly.
-
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens and comes to a boil again. This will take about 2-3 minutes.
-
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, making sure the wrap touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
-
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled and set.
-
Serve the homemade vanilla pudding chilled, topped with whipped cream or fresh fruits if desired.
