Ingredients

• 500 ml Milk
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch, sugar, and a pinch of salt to combine the dry ingredients thoroughly.

Step 2

Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid any lumps forming.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring continuously with a whisk or silicone spatula to prevent scorching.

Step 4

As the mixture begins to heat up, it will start to thicken. Keep stirring to ensure it cooks evenly.

Step 5

Once the custard reaches a thick, pudding-like consistency (about 8-10 minutes), remove the saucepan from the heat.

Step 6

Stir in the vanilla extract and butter until both are fully incorporated, giving the custard a silky texture and rich flavor.

Step 7

Pour the custard into serving bowls or ramekins. Let it cool slightly before serving warm, or refrigerate for a chilled dessert.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh fruit, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired, before serving.
