I promise, if you make this recipe you`ll never want to buy those artificial flavoured box mixes. Even my dad, who is so fussy about puddings because it`s his favourite dessert, requires I make it after a meal.
Just...I have no words.
It is indeed as delicious as it looks. Besides that, I`ll tell you something which will surprise you: it is extremely easy to put together.
Yes, mark my words, for today is the day when you will stop making those bought things. Homemade Vanilla Pudding tastes ten-no, one thousand times better.
Plus, I bet you already have the ingredients on hand.
So rush into the kitchen and treat yourself to this silky heaven:
Ingredients:
400 ml milk
2 egg yolks
6 tablespoons granulater sugar
4 tablespoons flour or 2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoond or 5 grams of butter
1 and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract or the seeds of 1 vanilla pod
Directions:
Pour the milk into a saucepan and heat it up on the stove on medium heat.
Meanwhile, put the egg yolks in a bowl, along with the sugar. Beat with the mixer or whisk by hand until pale, thick and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.Add in the flour and whisk until everything is well blended.
Take the milk and pour 3 tablespoons while constantly whisking or else you`ll end up cooking the egg. Nobody wants scrambled eggs in a pudding. Yuck! Then pour the rest of the milk in a thin stream.
After you`ve done this, pour your mixture back into the saucepan and back onto the stove, on medium heat.
It is important to use a whisk and not a spoon to prevent getting lumps. Stir slowly until thickened. Immediately turn the heat off and mix in the vanilla extract and butter.
Serve it with whatever your heart desires.
