Homemade Vanilla Pudding

(3)
  • Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
2 whole eggs (large)2/3 cup sugar1/4 cup flour1 tsp. vanilla extract2 cups milk (1%)1/2 Tbsp butter (optional, but I think it adds a little richness to the pudding)
Directions
Combine the eggs, sugar, flour, and vanilla in a medium sized pot with a wisk. Add the milk, wisking as you add, until everything is combined and smooth. Heat over medium high, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Stir in the butter until melted. Remove from heat, pour into a container, and cool before eating.
It tastes great cold, but I think it's heavenly when it's warm.

Makes 4 generous servings.

    This recipe is perfect! In most custards, egg tempering is unnecessary; this is the best way to temper the eggs! And this recipe is so versatile. I've made all kinds of flavors just by adding to this base. I've made a pumpkin custard, chocolate custard, and mint custard to layer on the chocolate - 11/3/19
