Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt until fully blended, ensuring a smooth mixture.
- Gradually whisk in the whole milk until smooth, enjoying the coolness as it helps integrate the dry ingredients.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly as the pudding thickens for about 5–10 minutes until it bubbles gently.
- Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and butter until melted, savoring the richness that develops.
- Pour into heatproof bowls or individual serving dishes and cover with plastic wrap directly on top to prevent a skin from forming while cooling. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
