Vanilla Pudding
Tuesday 29 July 2008
I scouted recipe books and the Internet for a recipe of Apple Pie, but most of them needed an oven. I don't have the hi-fi oven where I can set the temperature and timer etc. Yours truly has an extremely saadaa oven, in which yours truly can only heat something ( :-) ). But I badly wanted to try some dessert. My earlier failed attempt at caramel custard and cake** not withstanding, I decided to try vanilla pudding. And I stumbled upon this very interesting webpage, where Mr. Wayne Schmidt has dabbled a couple of times before coming up with the "world's best vanilla pudding recipe" - in his own words! And thanks to him, it came out beautifully :-) Here's the recipe for ya'll...
***
Ingredients:
2-cups of whole milk
1/3-cup of sugar
3 egg yolks
2-tablespoons of cornflour
1/8-teaspoon of salt
2-tablespoons of cooking butter
1-teaspoon vanilla essence
Method:
1. Separate the egg yolks from the whites. We will use the yolks and not whites. Whisk them thoroughly.
2. Add 1/4 cup milk to this and whisk some more.
3. Mix this into the remaining milk in a sauce pan and add sugar, cornflour and salt.
4. Cook, whisking constantly, over medium heat until it gets a custard like thick consistency. Simmer the gas.
5. Whisk in the butter and vanilla just until the butter is completely incorporated, about 30-seconds.
6. Pour immediately into a bowl and cover with a plastic wrap.
7. Cool in a refrigerator until it's chilled.
Serving suggestion: Serve, with love :-)

Kyu, hai na simple? Of course, credit goes to Mr. Wayne Schmidt, thanks Mr Wayne! Here's the page for vanilla pudding :-)
** In my defense, the microwave oven sucked! I made it soft and yummy in the electric oven didn't I?!
