Pudding Recipe

Creamy Vanilla Pudding (Taste of Home) 

Directions

Place 2 cups milk and salt in a saucepan.

Sprinkle sugar on milk and do not stir; heat over medium-high.

Place VERY COLD remaining milk in a bowl, and using a whisk or fork quickly add the cornstarch;

add egg yolks, one at a time, and mix well

 



When milk comes to a full boil, remove saucepan from the heat and stir in cornstarch mixture.

Pudding will begin to thicken.

Return to the heat and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla and butter.

Place a piece of plastic wrap on the top of the pan to prevent thick film from forming.

If you need the pudding to cool down quickly, place pan on top of large ice filled bowl, stirring pudding every 5 minutes.

Pour into individual dishes, if desired. Serve warm or cooled. Yield: 4 servings.

NOTE:  This recipe will keep several days (wonderful dessert for Sunday that I'm going to hid in the downstairs refrigerator!)
