How to Make Custard Pudding Microwave

  1. In a 2-quart glass bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until well combined.
  2. Gradually whisk in 3 cups milk until smooth.
  3. Microwave on high, uncovered, for 8-9 minutes, or until the mixture comes to a rolling boil, stirring 2-3 times during cooking.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks.
  5. Temper the egg yolks by slowly whisking in 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture. This prevents the eggs from scrambling.
  6. Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture into the remaining hot milk mixture in the microwave-safe bowl.
  7. Microwave on high, uncovered, for 45 seconds to 1 minute, or until the custard is bubbly around the edges, stirring once or twice during cooking.
  8. Remove from the microwave and stir in 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  9. Serve warm or chilled. Enjoy!
