The Magic Ingredients
To create this culinary masterpiece, you’ll need:
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 2 1/4 cups whole milk
- 3 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Let’s Get Cooking!
Step 1: Prepare the Strainer
Place a mesh strainer over a 4-cup measuring cup or bowl with a spout. This will come in handy later.
Step 2: Mix and Whisk
Combine the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk until they’re well acquainted. Then, slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup of milk while whisking constantly. Add the egg yolks and remaining milk, whisking until smooth.
Step 3: Heat and Thicken
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking often, until the pudding starts to thicken and bubble slightly. This should take about 5-6 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low and switch to a rubber spatula. Stir constantly, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan, until the pudding forms visible ribbons when drizzled over the surface.
Step 4: Add Flavor and Chill
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until the butter is melted and fully incorporated. Pour the pudding through the prepared strainer into 4 (4-ounce) ramekins or resealable containers. Cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
