Pudding

Today, after school we made homemade vanilla pudding. I realize that this isn't such an amazing feat but to my daughters (and myself) this was huge. We didn't need the fancy little box of instant stuff from the store we just needed a recipe. I did a google search and came up with thousands of results. Being a fan of allrecipes.com, I chose their link to the Homemade Vanilla Pudding.

The Homemade Vanilla Pudding recipe:

Ingredients

2 cups milk

1/2 cup white sugar

3 tablespoons cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon butter

Directions

1. In medium saucepan over medium heat, heat milk until bubbles form at edges. In a bowl, combine sugar, cornstarch and salt. Pour into hot milk, a little at a time, stirring to dissolve. Continue to cook and stir until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Do not boil! Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and butter. Pour into serving dishes and chill for an a hour. Serves 4.

Amazing!! This was so quick and easy, not instant like the packet but by far more budget friendly.
Thanks for reading.
