How to Make Farmer's Old Fashioned Vanilla Pudding

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 2 cups whole milk and ½ cup granulated sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warmed through (do not boil).
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs and ¼ cup all-purpose flour until smooth.
  3. Gradually whisk the egg mixture into the warm milk mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk or spatula, until the pudding thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 8-10 minutes). Do not boil.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon pure Madagascar vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the pudding into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill completely.
  6. Before serving, whip 1 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chilled pudding and serve immediately.
