French Recipe ✶ Vanilla Blancmange

This pudding base can be flavored or colored. I like to add rice, butter, and cinnamon for rice pudding. Or almond extract with a mint leaf and a couple of pine nuts on top for something simple but elegant.

Ingredients

• ½ cup white sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• ⅓ teaspoon salt
• 2 cups milk
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Cooking Directions

1. Combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt together in a saucepan. Slowly add milk while stirring. Bring to a simmer over low heat and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract and pour into four 1/2-cup custard cups. Refrigerate until thickened, about 1 hour.
