| Homemade Vanilla Pudding is so simple to make and more delicious than pudding made from a packaged mix. |
Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
3 cups milk
4 egg yolks (or 2 whole eggs)**
1 tablespoon butter
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
whipped cream for garnish (optional)
Method:
Whisk together the sugar and cornstarch in a large heavy saucepan or Dutch oven. Slowly whisk in the milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for and additional 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Beat the egg yolks or eggs. Gradually stir 1 cup of the hot liquid into the beaten eggs. Add the egg mixture to the remainder of the heated milk in the saucepan. If using egg yolks, bring to a gentle boil, while stirring, over medium heat. (If using whole eggs, heat just before bubbly, but do not boil.) Reduce heat to low and continue to cook and stir for 2 or 3 more minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the butter and vanilla until blended in.
Pour into 1 medium bowl or 5 to 6 dessert cups. If desired, cover and gently press plastic wrap over the top of the pudding to prevent a "skin" from forming. Chill until set for 1 hour or longer. Makes 5 to 6 servings. If desired, garnish with whipped cream.
Variation: If desired, stir 1 1/4 cups of fresh mini marshmallows into the pudding before chilling.
