In a medium saucepan, heat 3 ½ cups of milk over medium heat until it begins to steam; do not let it boil.
While the milk is warming, combine the remaining ½ cup of milk, all-purpose flour, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and lump-free.
Once the milk in the saucepan is steaming, lower the heat to medium-low. Gradually whisk in the flour-cornstarch mixture, ensuring there are no lumps.
Stir in the granulated sugar and continue whisking for about 10-15 minutes, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until the butter is fully melted and incorporated.
Pour the pudding into a shallow rectangular or square pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Allow it to cool to room temperature for 30 minutes.
Once the pudding is cooled, cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Slice the pudding into squares or rectangles and serve on plates. Sprinkle with cinnamon powder on top, if desired.
