Easy Homemade Vanilla Pudding Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups milk
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
2. Slowly whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth. Over medium heat, bring to a boil, whisking frequently, about 8 minutes. Once boiling, continue cooking and whisking constantly for 1 minute.
3. Take the saucepan off the heat, then mix in the butter and vanilla extract.
4. Divide the pudding evenly among 5 serving dishes. Allow to cool slightly, about 10 minutes. For optimal results, cover with plastic wrap directly on top to prevent skin from forming, and chill in the refrigerator until set, approximately 2 hours.
5. Serve and savor!
