Ingredients

• 2 cups Milk
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 2 Egg yolks

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

Gradually add the milk to the saucepan, whisking constantly to dissolve the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks together. Add about 1/4 cup of the milk mixture into the yolks, whisking quickly to temper the eggs.

Step 4

Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan and place it over medium heat, whisking constantly.

Step 5

Cook the mixture while stirring frequently until it thickens and starts to bubble (about 5–7 minutes).

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and simmer for another minute while continuing to stir.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and butter until fully incorporated.

Step 8

Pour the pudding into serving dishes or a large bowl. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 9

Let the pudding cool slightly before serving warm, or refrigerate for at least 2 hours if you prefer it chilled.
