Ingredients

  • tablespoons cornstarch 
  • large egg yolk lightly beaten
  • 0.3 cup granulated sugar 
  • 0.3 teaspoon salt fine
  • tablespoons butter unsalted cut into small pieces
  • teaspoons vanilla extract 
  • 2.3 cups milk whole

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • sauce pan
  • whisk
  • sieve
  • plastic wrap
  • ramekin
  • spatula
  • measuring cup

Directions

  1. Place a mesh strainer over a 4-cup measuring cup or bowl with a spout and set aside.
  2. Combine the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan and whisk until incorporated. While constantly whisking, slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup of the milk until smooth.
  3. Whisk in the egg yolks and remaining milk.
  4. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking often, until the pudding begins to thicken and just starts to bubble, about 5 to 6 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low and switch to a rubber spatula. Stir constantly, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan, until the pudding makes visible ribbons when drizzled over the surface, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  5. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until the butter is melted and completely incorporated.
  6. Pour the pudding through the prepared strainer. Immediately transfer it to 4 (4-ounce) ramekins or resealable containers. Lightly press a piece of plastic wrap on top of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator until set, about 2 hours.
