Ingredients
- 120 grams Sugar
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 60 grams Dry milk powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 whole (or teaspoon) Vanilla bean or vanilla powder
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine sugar, cornstarch, dry milk powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to incorporate all dry ingredients evenly.
Step 2
If using a vanilla bean, slice it lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Add the seeds to the dry mixture or use vanilla powder if that’s your preference.
Step 3
Transfer the mix to an airtight container or jar. Label it with the name and date, and store it in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
Step 4
To prepare vanilla pudding from the mix, measure out 120 grams (approximately 1 cup) of the dry mix.
Step 5
In a medium saucepan, whisk 120 grams of the mix with 2 cups of cold milk (or the milk of your choice) until smooth.
Step 6
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Step 7
Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat and cook for 2–3 more minutes until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 8
Remove the saucepan from heat and pour the pudding into serving bowls or ramekins.
Step 9
Optionally, cover the surface of the pudding with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming, then let it cool in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours.
Step 10
Serve chilled or warm as desired. Enjoy your creamy homemade vanilla pudding!
