How to Make Dreamy Vanilla Pudding
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups whole milk and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup cornstarch, and a pinch of salt until light and fluffy.
- Slowly whisk 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture to temper the eggs. Then, pour the tempered egg mixture into the remaining milk mixture in the saucepan.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk, until the pudding thickens and comes to a simmer (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
- Pour the pudding into a bowl. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!
