3. Heat milk mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently to avoid lumps or sticking, until milk boils. Allow to boil/bubble for 1 minute and then turn off heat.

Additional Notes: 

*You can make your own vanilla sugar by leaving a vanilla bean in a container of sugar.

**I use whole eggs sine it's easier! Whisk briskly and stir constantly, and your pudding will still be smooth!

***If you want to cut down on the calories a little, you can use 4 tablespoons butter instead of six. :)

Tammy's Review: 

This is a super simple, very basic vanilla pudding recipe. It's easy and it's SO delicious!!! I love it. I think puddings traditionally use only the egg yolks, but I always use whole eggs so I put that in there too. ;) This pudding tastes so much better than any boxed pudding mix!! The flavor is just perfect. My rating: 10/10

So Good!

This is a definite hit in my house full of teens/young adults. I had to make a second batch! Thanks Tammy

Wow!

Wow...All I can say is Wow! This is so delicious. We buy our raw milk from a farm and we had some that was 'on the verge' of going bad, but not quite. You never want to waste raw milk because it is like pure gold. :)

I remembered seeing this recipe so I decided to try it. I made it into banana pudding, layering the pudding with bananas and graham crackers (since I didn't have any Nilla Wafers).

This is absolutely the best pudding I have ever had! Thanks, Tammy, for another winner!

Fabulous!

We're having a potluck with our Bible Study group tonight, and I'm on dessert. I thought I would make a trifle, but didn't want to use pudding mix (yuck). I just finished cooking up this pudding, and OH MY! I just had to have some before I put it in the fridge to cool. Unbelievable! I have never had a pudding this good before, and I know it will be a hit in my trifle later too! Thanks so much for sharing.
