Homemade Vanilla Pudding

As promised here is my pudding recipe:

I actually got this one from a recipe website and liked it so much, that I stopped using my old recipe.

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups milk, divided
• Pinch salt
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon butter or margarine

Directions

1. Place 2 cups milk and salt in a saucepan. Sprinkle sugar on milk and do no stir; heat over medium-high. Quickly combine cornstarch with remaining milk; add egg yolks and mix well. When milk comes to a full boil, remove saucepan from the heat and stir in cornstarch mixture. Pudding will begin to thicken. Return to the heat and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla and butter. Pour into individual dishes.

*Make sure that when storing pudding you cover it with plastic wrap directly on top of pudding to avoid getting that yucky (film) layer.
