Ingredients for Vanilla Pudding Recipe:

• Whole milk–We think this makes the pudding pretty rich since there is more butterfat in whole milk, but you can use any milk that you like, it will work.
• Cornstarch–This thickens the pudding
• Egg yolks–They help your pudding to thicken and adds a richer taste
• Salt– Always an ingredient to use to enhance the flavor
• Half & half– A little half & half gives the pudding a great texture and makes it a little more decadent
• Sugar–This gives your pudding a nice sweet flavor
• Butter–For extra richness
• Vanilla extract–To give the pudding that great vanilla flavor

Making the vanilla pudding:

In a bowl, mix ½ cup of the whole milk with the cornstarch, salt, and egg yolks; make sure everything is well combined.

Now, take a saucepan and mix the remaining whole milk, half & half, and sugar until it is all combined. Now, cook on the stove until the mixture comes to a simmer; there should be little bubbles around the sides of the pan.

When the mixture comes to a simmer, take the hot mixture off of the burner and slowly pour a little of it into the egg yolk mixture while whisking. You want the egg yolk mix to reach about the same temperature as the hot mixture, so you don't have scrambled eggs. This is called tempering.

When the temperatures are about even, pour all of the egg mixture into the saucepan and put it back on the burner. Cook and stir the mixture until it comes to a boil. Boil for about 1 minute until it gets thick.

Take the pan off of the heat and add the cold butter and vanilla extract to the mix and whisk it in. Now, it is time to put the pudding mixture through a strainer to make sure your pudding is creamy and doesn't have any pieces of cooked egg in it.

Transfer the hot mixture to serving bowls and refrigerate until cool about 3 to 4 hours.
