Easy Vanilla Pudding

In this instructable I will show you how to make vanilla pudding. This homemade vanilla pudding recipe is easy to make and made from scratch. While I still like the instant pudding from the store, homemade is so much better. If I can do it you can do it, let's get started!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of milk (whole, 2%, 1%) (500ml)
• 1/2 cup white granulated sugar (100g)
• 3 Tbsp. of cornstarch (23g)
• 1/4 tsp. of salt (1g)
• 1 Tbsp. of butter (14g)
• 1 tsp. of vanilla extract (5ml)

Tools:

• pot
• spatula or wooden spoon
• metal spoon
• serving containers
• plastic wrap

Add the cornstarch and salt to the bowl of sugar. Use a fork or small whisk and blend those three ingredients together.

Next add the milk to a sauce pot. Place the pot on your burner and set the heat to medium. (350 F 176 C) Stirring occasionally and heat the milk until little bubbles form on the edges.

Now add the dry ingredients a little at a time, stirring in between, until it dissolves, then adding more, until all the dry ingredients have been incorporated. Continue stirring and cooking, until the pudding thickens and sticks/coats the back of a metal spoon. Now remove the pudding from the burner.

Now let's add some flavor. Drop the butter and vanilla extract into the bowl and stir, until it is blended in.

Now fill up your serving containers and then cover the bowl and pudding with plastic wrap. This will keep the pudding from forming a skin on the top of it. Chill the pudding for at least 30 minutes before serving. Or you can certainly serve the pudding warm. :)

Now time to eat that yummy pudding. :) Enjoy!
