Calories 147kcal
Equipment
- 1 saucepan
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small bowl whisk together the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, heat cold milk over medium heat, until small bubbles form along the sides.
- Whisk in the dry ingredients (the mixture of sugar, cornstarch, and salt). Stir while it's cooking, and allow it to thicken up enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
- When the pudding has thickened up, remove the pan from the heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract and butter until well combined.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving.
