How to Make Old Fashioned Vanilla Pudding
- In a large saucepan, whisk together the milk, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a simmer and thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs lightly. Gradually whisk 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the eggs to temper them, preventing the eggs from scrambling.
- Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens further and is just on the verge of boiling (about 2-3 minutes). Do not boil.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in the butter and vanilla extract until melted and well combined.
- Pour the pudding into 6 individual dessert dishes.
- Cover tightly with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for at least 4-5 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pudding to fully chill and set.
