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?!

    Let me know when you get an oven. My mom makes the world's best apple pie, and I can send you the recipe. Seriously, it is out of this world. I've never been able to achieve the same results myself, but if you can do it, you won't be disappointed!
