Easy Vanilla Pudding

Here is a recipe for easy vanilla pudding:

-  2 cups whole milk

-  1/2 cup granulated sugar

-  3 tablespoons corn starch

-  1/4 teaspoon salt

-  1 tablespoon butter

-  2 teaspoons pure vanilla (vanilla extract works too)

In a small saucepan, bring milk to a light boil over medium to high heat.  While milk is heating, mix together sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a small bowl.  Add dry ingredients once milk starts to bubble around the edge of the saucepan.  Whisk frequently, over a light boil until it starts to thicken.  Remove from heat and whisk in butter and vanilla.  Let cool and serve or store in an air tight container in the refrigerator.  Enjoy!
