This is a homemade vanilla pudding made on the stovetop to eat as is or use as a filling for pastry or cakes.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups whole milk, divided
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Using just 1/4 cup of milk add this to a bowl with cornstarch and using a fork or whisk stir together.
  2. Whisk the rest of the milk in a small saucepan pot, with the salt, and sugar.
  3. Heat this mixture heating until it starts to get some heat but do not boil it.
  4. In a clean large bowl, whisk the eggs then slowly whisk in the warm milk from the saucepan whisking constantly into the eggs for around 2 minutes.
  5. Add the egg yolk mixture back to the saucepan pot, then add in cornstarch mixture.
  6. Keep whisking this mixture on medium heat until this pudding thickened.
  7. Once it's thick add the butter and vanilla and pour into a serving dish covered with wax paper (this keeps it from forming a skin).
  8. This is now ready to be chilled or cooled to warm to eat and can also be used to fill cakes.
