Vanilla pudding

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make vanilla pudding? Prepare the products. For cooking, take high-quality fatty milk, preferably rustic, from which the cream has already been removed. Choose the purchased one with high fat content, without vegetable additives in the composition. As a flavor component, vanillin, vanilla sugar or natural vanilla is suitable. Depending on the selected type, the amount of this ingredient will be different.

2. Step 2:

   

   Pour 400 ml of milk into a medium-sized saucepan. Put it on the fire, add granulated sugar, just a little salt, so that the taste is balanced, as well as vanillin (in the case when vanillin is used, it needs to be put literally a few crystals, vanilla sugar can be added more). Stir the contents of the saucepan and bring to a boil over low heat.

4. Step 3:

   

   Combine the remaining 100 ml of milk with corn starch and mix until smooth. Pour the mixture into the boiling milk in a thin stream. The pudding will rapidly begin to thicken. Immediately start stirring it so that lumps do not form and the pudding does not stick to the bottom. It is very convenient to use a silicone spatula at the same time. The fire can be turned off, as after thickening, the pudding will begin to boil violently and "shoot".

5. Step 4:

   

   Cool the finished vanilla pudding and serve it to the table warm or chilled. Decorate the pudding with fresh berries or slices of soft fruit, cookies, pieces of marmalade, chocolate. You can use this pudding as a cream for making various cakes or pastries. Bon appetit!
