Notes
Use your favourite milk. Dairy milk and oat milk tend to yield a creamier pudding than other types of milk.
Do not throw out the egg whites. You can make an omelette by mixing them with whole eggs.
When it comes to making this classic vanilla pudding, the only tricky part is ensuring that it’s smooth and clump-free. That means stirring often during the cooking process. But all this stirring is worth it, as it yields a silky texture and delicious flavor.
