Homemade Vanilla Pudding Recipe
• 3/4 cup organic sugar
• 3 tablespoons organic cornstarch
• 3 cups whole milk
• 4 beaten egg yolks
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Whisk together the sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the milk. Continue to stir over medium heat until it becomes thickened and bubbly. Cook 2 minutes more. Carefully pour 1/2 cup of the milk mixture into the beaten egg yolks and whisk. Repeat this 2-3 more times. (This is slowly increasing the temperature of the eggs without scrambling them)
Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk. Bring to a gentle boil and stir constantly for 2 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the butter and vanilla.
Pour into small bowls or ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap (if desired). Chill for 3-4 hours or serve warm.
This pudding recipe is the equivalent to approximately one box of instant pudding.

I can’t figure out how to find the written recipe. I tap on the SHOW MORE and nothing happens. I tap on your @ handle and this comes up. Is there another place to find how to connect to your printed recipes?

[@carolynvagher5296]

I love that you have enough volume for me to hear! -- most don't. Now that I have found your channel, I will watch you forever!

[@evanorvell8368]

I always add 1/4 t. of salt. Makes a difference in the flavor! Makes a fantastic banana pudding!

[@megancantrell3815]

Jill I'd just like to offer these words of praise: I've been obsessively listening to your podcast, I am on episode 117 (my chickens LOVE tomatoes too, I thought they were just weird but now I can tell them they're normal) and I absolutely adore that you're so real and that you're so willing to share you're failures along with your successes, you're not trying to "be" something, you're just sharing your journey and the knowledge you've accumulated so that others can have a better footing to start from. I also am falling in love with Lehman's, we are updating our Michigan farmhouse kitchen and I've got SO much in my cart waiting to be shipped right into my open arms! Please keep doing what you do, rocking it, my fiance and I love how you *roll* and appreciate what you're doing!

[@coolstamper]

You can’t beat home-made pudding. I always add my corn starch with enough milk to dissolve it, add my egg yolks, mix well, and then add the rest of the milk and other ingredients, except for the vanilla, of course. No need to temper the yolks. I always add the vanilla after the pudding is done and the heat is turned off. 💕

[@Production791]

In the Uk this is custard ( without the vanilla) and poured hot over fruit pies, cooling it is added to trifle..a mix of sponge, fruit , custard and cream,

[@anitawhite6104]

I think in the UK we would call this 'Egg Custard' and pour it into baked pastry case.

[@southerlandacres4543]

Yum

[@ninecatsmagee8384]

Classic cornstarch pudding. You can add chocolate too or other flavouring. It was one of the first things we learned to make in cooking class at school. The goal was to not have lumps!

[@southerlandacres4543]

Ugh! I would have loved to learn something like this in school! I’m glad you did, we need to learn these skills, it’s real life ☺️

[@karynb7781]

I would pay $100 to try that vanilla pudding warm, right now. In fact, $10 just to smell it and the homemade vanilla. Yum. THE Best of Life! Tonight we had chili with base as beef bone broth I had rather than the tomato juice. It was different. It tasted lighter, which was unexpected.

[@TayCMae]

This tastes amazing! I made it with dairy free almond milk and an extra scoop of cornstarch to pull it together and I’m OBSESSED! This will be my go to from now on, thanks for sharing Jill!

[@BrLambert]

You're right it isn't difficult, it's worth it! I made this when I lived at home, later made a similar version if not the same of Cream Patisserie...Chocolate is really good too for pies, a simple chocolate pie. Memories.

[@cjr.6908]

Look at you.!!!!!! 100,000 subscribers!!!! WELL DONE Jill! ❤️❤️👋👋👍👍

[@yankee9736]

I just made your recipe and it came out better then any vanilla putting I ever tasted before. THANK YOU VERY MUCH !

[@kiss109]

I've never tried raw unpasteurized milk. I'll love to eventually try it. Thank you for this amazing recipe and amazing channel. I hope I can soon live like this. God bless you.

[@hollyjobitner3285]

I add my whole eggs including whites and vanilla at the start. Microwaving in a large glass heat resistant measuring cup 3 minutes,stir, then 2 minutes repeating to desired thickness. Easy and no risk of scorching the pudding. Also works for making white sauce for scalloped potatoes melt butter or pour in olive oil, dried minced onion,parsley, milk,and corn starch. Layer potatoes,carrots,and protein for a one pot dinner

[@alycecarson7924]

This is the old fashioned (best) way to make banana pudding! And we called it egg custard growing up.

[@amyvause3809]

This is very similar to a recipe that my Grandma has been making for years. It is sooooo good. I love to eat it warm! Love your videos!

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

Nice! We no longer buy packaged pudding mix so this recipe will definitely be used! Homemade is always better anyway.

[@theprairiehomestead]

That's awesome!

[@carolburke9351]

Thank you for the recipe for vanilla pudding my youngest grandson only likes vanilla pudding this will be easy for me ... ..I do use a double boiler .when I cook my puddings ...

[@carolb.4837]

Hi Jill ,from the NE of England, hello! Love your blogs...clear ,practical.interesting and friendly. I've just made your butterscotch dessert......lets put it this way......my grandson called and took off his mask to have some and the bowl was emptied. I will certainly make it again , now that I can confidently temper eggs. I liked the strainer hint. My only difficulty was US cup measures but with the help of google and noticing the my Pyrex measuring jug ,as well as pints and litres , actually had cups on the side ! Thanks again for the cooking inspirations Kind regards Carol xx from Houghton le Spring near Durham City.

[@mimiohnine]

Thank you for the recipe in the drop down 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I really enjoy pudding

[@theprairiehomestead]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@rebeccahart4681]

That is so cool! I have never heard of homemade pudding before! Thank you for this!

[@LisaB_at_Pine_Ridge]

Love your tea pot!

[@bugjuse578]

My grandmother always beated the egg whites and made a meringue to go on top of her homemade vanilla pudding.

[@monicarodhouse1133]

I love your cookbook!! And I would be thrilled if you did another one!! Granola, cream of mushroom soup, more desserts?? Thank you again for authoring one of my absolutely most used cookbooks. My family thanks you too!

[@SeeLionsInTX]

Excellent teaching video. You definitely made making pudding look easy. 😊

[@kathrinekerns8398]

We used to take the egg whites and make a meringue or use them to make some egg noodles.

[@laurennelsonbell2454]

This looks wonderful! I can't wait to try it this weekend!!!

[@milliewilkie1969]

In UK we call this egg custard we put it in a pastry case too sprinkled with nutmeg

[@barbaraconnolly9000]

I only use corrnstarch if I want it to set. If having pouring custard, I use cream, eggs, sugar and vanilla extract. Love custard tart, fresh nutmeg is just so delicious. I'm UK to.

[@wendywobbles1]

Omg Jill, you look really well, summer glow, great video once again 👍🏡👪

[@yolandiewessels8093]

Try sprinkling some cinnamon over the top its yummy like that. You can do it while still warm before refrigerating 😉

[@shelley_quilts]

YUM!!!!!!

[@thomasgronek6469]

I added the yolks when everything was cold, and kept whisking,, it was easier than tempering, and nothing funny happened, thanks for the video, you picked up a new subscriber.

[@rrichards1210]

Egg whites can be frozen and later used for meringue or pavlova too. Our chooks have just started laying so hopefully we will have an abundance of eggs soon too.

[@jrelevates1574]

you make it look easy

[@whatzupLizzy]

Yum, I bet with raw whole milk that is the food of the gods. Chicken gods 🐣

[@Sophie-ik8un]

I feel like as im watching u,i am in your kitchen ❤ i will never wstch another channel againnn

[@holygrailbbq8852]

Another great video! Such a great idea for a quick dessert.

[@russellmcintosh6014]

Looks yummy

[@brooklinndalton829]

We have a corn sensitivity in our crew, so I used potato starch instead of corn starch and it turned out beautifully.

[@juliabrown5948]

I love this!! It makes me want to come share pudding with you 😊

[@bcvahsfam]

Great video!

[@Amy_Stanmore]

This is custard, try it with old bread, sultanas and cinnamon on top. Pour this over the bread and bake. I prefer to use brioche on special with chocolate bits. Bread and butter pudding.

[@marygonzales5957]

You have a cookbook!!!?? Wow!!!?

[@caitlinr9874]

Yum! Can you do a video on how you make kombucha?

[@Eli-ry3xg]

Love it! Thanks :)

[@valeriewashburn]

Yay so happy to see a new video 🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@janiceleblanc4309]

LOVE your videos!!!! Is there a video that shows how you make your homemade vanilla?

[@kensmithler5965]

Looks delicious! When will we get to see your new milking parlor in action? Love your Swiss cows.

[@susantaylor8507]

Yummy fresh milk I have the fresh eggs

[@andyteohockguan7243]

Awesome video

[@theprairiehomestead]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@susantaylor8507]

Do you have a video on making kumbucha

[@theprairiehomestead]

I don't have a video, but there are a few posts up on the blog: www.theprairiehomestead.com/2019/10/bottle-kombucha-at-home.html

[@jenniferrosario1489]

Do you have a recipe from scratch for banana pudding like the vanilla and butterscotch ones you've shared? All I can find on Google and KZbin are the banana pudding with vanilla waffles. But that's not what I want. Made the vanilla pudding. It was so easy and tasty!! Doing the butterscotch pudding this weekend. Thanks for sharing!!

[@marilynnergord7993]

Just made this. I’m eating it warm with fresh raspberries. Oh my…

[@stephanierodgers4154]

I'm going to try this tonight! Do you have instructions somewhere for your homemade vanilla extract?

[@KushKussh]

Congratulations

[@arkansas-homesteader]

I make homemade vanilla pudding with cane sugar and it’s not dark at all

[@jujume2010]

i make my banana cream pie with homemade vanilla pudding. Thanks to my MIL for the old ways that she taught me. Homemade pudding has nothing on store bought. I will never eat store bought again.

[@patriarca91]

That was easy...( I can do it )

[@ItTakesAVillage25]

"Pull you through the screen" - oh yes please! Teach me!

[@joyceyoungblood7927]

Just used this to make banana pudding.

[@brentderksen]

Will you add a chocolate option too?

[@Amy_Stanmore]

Um just add melted choc or cocoa and bits

[@jeannesmith2414]

Off-grid Rock Ranch in northeastern Arizona. Love this and all of the things you show us. I'm wondering about the pour lid on top of your vanilla and some of the other mason jar lids you talked about. What are they and where did you get them I've looked on Amazon

[@jrelevates1574]

If company is coming for dinner, they should be bringing dessert, if they have manners.

[@Madalyssa22]

Can you link where you order your pantry staples like the organic sugars?

[@theprairiehomestead]

A bunch of my most-used kitchen ingredients are listed in my homestead mercantile: www.theprairiehomestead.com/ewd_shop_category/cooking-ingredients

[@leechaffee822]

Is your vanilla recipe somewhere? I think you are amazing by the way…

[@mrsmcdonald9363]

I laughed when you said pudding was invented by a homesteader. For as long as people have had cows and chickens, they’ve had excess milk and eggs in some seasons. So we have custard, flan, cream pies, French toast, quiche and so many other things.

[@tamutair5510]

👍🏻

[@trulylynn9941]

You are amazing my dear ;) !

[@ChristineBoese]

Ever use a double boiler for this?

[@debrabenoit5062]

use egg whites to make meringue to top pudding pie

[@sarahbennett7235]

Do you clean your eggs at all? We have chickens too first timers and they are always dirty. But I know you can't keep them on the counter once washed. Just curious you have a ton of eggs!!!

[@theprairiehomestead]

In general we don't wash our eggs.

[@tracywhite1694]

Just wondering if you have any suggestions about chickens.... mine haven't started laying yet and we got them at chick days at tractor supply in early March. I have barred rock hens, I'm not sure what the roosters are because they came from a neighbor. I've started adding the laying pellets to their food ( kitchen scraps).

[@TheCreativeChica]

Can I use Monkfruit sweetener and almond milk?

[@reneedrock2907]

How do you make your homemade vanilla extract?

[@nathansylvander4829]

not basic in my kitchen lol but getting there

[@nathansylvander4829]

made n opps tossed in to much vanilla yer right cant have too much ! yest next time ill add more corn starch n more vanilla

[@5littlearrows]

Where do you get your vanilla beans? So expensive right now

[@masquitaful]

Are we channeling our inner Laura Ingalls Wilder again? Why not use the blender for the egg step? My first attempt at this recipe was an epic fail, but it wasn't the recipe's fault. Thankfully, it is PUDDING, which is super forgiving. I accidentally knocked the bowl of eggs on the floor, after I had put half the milk in it. So I got more eggs (thank you chickies) and made 1 1/2 batches. But the second round of eggs, I forgot to only put the yolks in. Yeah, it had chunks of egg white which wasn't that good. But I basically figured out that if I put it in the blender, I can put the whole egg in. So the next day, I did that. I used the blender for the egg step. That batch was much better. I forgot to put the butter and vanilla in. But it was very good and got eaten quickly. The day after that (today), I made a third batch, and I got everything right. It was really good. I put the whole eggs in the blender and then added the milk into the blender and blended it and then poured it back into the milk to cook some more then added vanilla and butter. It is awesome! Have you ever tried cottage pudding? It is the older version of bread pudding. That is a super simple recipe, and really good. But some people don't really like it (my husband). It supposedly originated around 1800??

[@helenschmidt1656]

Hi do you have a banana pudding recipe? You'd like to share.

[@jennifermcvay7752]

Are your countertops concrete?

[@Ventura0404]

I have a question could you not use potato starch instead of cornstarch

[@annaherodterry5942]

I need something other than corn starch as well. Corn allergy

[@Ventura0404]

Anna Herod Terry And that is in a lot of things corn starch. Do you think potato starch would work. It’s a thickener

[@gracewaterfarm2023]

I have used tapioca starch! As well as flour.

[@cindygierisch581]

so its kind of like grave ?

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

Looks good. But you feel for one of the fake organic products. There is no such thing as organic sugar. You either have raw sugar which is slightly darker and processed or bleached white sugar. What you had looked partially processed. Brown is just raw or fully processed sugar with thickened cane syrup add to it.

[@ItsMe-jh3ze]

Well, I tried it and so far it isn't setting up. It's been almost 2 hours and still liquidy. It may become chicken feed. 😲

[@SherryEllesson]

You could use it to make French Toast.

[@anitawhite6104]

- Sounds like you need a little more cornflour/cornstarch, add too much and you will have concrete so go gentle with it
