When I was younger my favorite after-school snack was pudding. I loved all types of pudding from chocolate to vanilla and the best was when my mom let me put some sort of candy in it to jazz it up. This Vanilla Pudding recipe lets me revisit some of my childhood in the most delicious way.
For this recipe you start out by combining the milk and cornstarch in a small bowl and in a separate heat proof bowl whisk the eggs. Then over medium heat, combine the remaining milk, sugar, and salt in a saucepan until it steams. Once the milk is steaming slowly start whisking into the eggs. Then slowly add the milk/egg mixture back in the pot along with the cornstarch mixture. Cook this mixture over medium heat whisking constantly until the mixture thickens. Once thickened take the pan off the heat and add the butter and the Singing Dog Vanilla Organic Pure Vanilla Extract. Pour the mixture into 6 individual serving bowls and place plastic wrap on top to prevent a skin to form and place in the refrigerator to chill for a couple of hours. Once chilled add some topping and enjoy.
