Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml Milk
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch, sugar, and a pinch of salt to combine the dry ingredients thoroughly.
Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid any lumps forming.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring continuously with a whisk or silicone spatula to prevent scorching.
As the mixture begins to heat up, it will start to thicken. Keep stirring to ensure it cooks evenly.
Once the custard reaches a thick, pudding-like consistency (about 8-10 minutes), remove the saucepan from the heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract and butter until both are fully incorporated, giving the custard a silky texture and rich flavor.
Pour the custard into serving bowls or ramekins. Let it cool slightly before serving warm, or refrigerate for a chilled dessert.
Garnish with fresh fruit, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired, before serving.
