Vanilla Pudding Recipe

Ingredients

3 cups Milk
1½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
½-cup White Sugar
¼-cup Cornstarch
An Egg
2 spoon Margarine

Garnish

Whipped Cream
Finely-cut Almonds
Chopped Walnuts

Procedure

Take one cup of milk, add the cornstarch to it, and blend it thoroughly. Beat the egg in another bowl.
Add the beaten egg to the cornstarch and milk mixture and blend it carefully. You can also add a pinch of salt, if you want.
Add sugar to the mixture and stir it. Add the rest of the milk to the mixture as well and blend it scrupulously.
Now, you can either microwave the mixture or you can heat it on the stove. Heat it on medium flame and keep stirring it, until it gets thick and bubbly. If you are microwaving it, then leave the mixture on medium for ten minutes
Take the mixture out from the stove and add the vanilla extract to it. Add margarine also and again, cook for a few minutes.
Take the mixture out of the stove or the microwave and beat it with a hand mixer. Even a fork will do the trick.
Blend the pudding until the mixture is thick. If it is not thick enough, you can cook it a few more minutes. In case the pudding has become too thick, you can add a little milk to it and stir well.
You can serve the pudding hot or cool it, refrigerate it and then serve. Either ways, garnish it with whipped cream and dry fruits. The homemade pudding will be tastier and healthier than its artificial instant mix counterpart.
