Homemade Vanilla Pudding

I've been craving this vanilla pudding ever since my friend Cinnamon over at Knights and Maidens posted this recipe a while back...First I didn't have cornstarch...Then I realized that I needed whole milk for this recipe...Lonnie and I drink skim milk...Soooooo, finally, today I remembered to purchase a small whole milk at the market...I was going to wait until after dinner to make it, but it just sounded soooo good I couldn't wait until after dinner...So I enjoyed my dessert "before" dinner tonight....I just don't see anything wrong with that (HeeHee) My husband actually thought this was quite tasty, and he's not really a pudding person...Enjoy...

Cinnamon's Homemade Vanilla Pudding

3 cups whole milk

3 eggs

1/8 tsp salt

1/4 cup cornstarch

1/2 cup sugar

Mix the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Add in milk and eggs, heat to boil, mixing constantly.

Once to a boil, go about another minute. It should be able to thickly coat a spoon.

Remove from heat. Add butter and vanilla. Put pudding into a bowl and lay plastic wrap directly onto pudding top to avoid creating a skin as it cools.

Cinnamon's side note: "We poured it into our serving dishes and waited about a minute. Then it was warm enough to gobble up."

My side note: I sprinkled a little bit of cinnamon spice on top of the pudding...I also added a little extra vanilla and extra butter, as Cinnamon suggested...
