Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pour the cold milk into a saucepan and whisk in the sugar, cornstarch and rice flour until no lumps remain.

  2. 2

    Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon and scraping the bottom; it will thicken and start to bubble in 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Once it boils, lower the heat and keep stirring for 2-3 more minutes to cook out the raw starch taste.

  4. 4

    Take off the heat, add the vanilla extract and whisk for 1-2 minutes until smooth and glossy.

  5. 5

    Divide the hot pudding among 7 small bowls and let cool to room temperature.

  6. 6

    Chill for at least 3 hours and serve cold.
