Vanilla Pudding

So... I took a Mark Bittman recipe and I altered it... I super really like it. I thought it would be a good idea to share it with the world... but nobody steal it... ok? Ok.

Vanilla Pudding

2 1/2 C half and half

2/3 C sugar

2 egg yolks

3 T cornstarch

6 drops vanilla

2 T butter

Take a good, heavy bottom pan and a whisk. Put all milk in pan, set to med heat. Add in sugar, egg yolks. Once its warmed up and it steaming remove about 1/3 C of the milk and mix it with the cornstarch (I used a blender bottle...). Bring to boil (it should be thick). Remove from heat. Stir in butter and vanilla.

This is good by itself, but would also be good in a pie (banana cream).

Enjoy!!
