Vanilla or Chocolate Pudding Ingredients: 2/3 cup sugar 1/4 cup cornstarch 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (if making chocolate pudding) 2 1/2 cups milk 4 large egg yolks 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Directions Step 1 Place a fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl; set aside. In a medium saucepan, off heat, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt. If making chocolate pudding, add cocoa powder. Very gradually (a few tablespoons at a time) whisk in milk, taking care to dissolve cornstarch. Whisk in egg yolks. Step 2 Whisking constantly, cook over medium heat until the first large bubble forms and sputters. Reduce heat to low; still whisking, cook 1 minute. Remove from heat; immediately pour through sieve into bowl. Stir butter and vanilla into hot pudding. Step 3 Place plastic wrap directly on surface of pudding (to prevent skin from forming); chill at least 3 hours and up to 3 days. Before serving, whisk pudding until smooth; divide among four serving dishes.
