 Vanilla Pudding (CIA Baking & Pastry)

Bring to a boil:

340g milk

50g sugar

pinch salt


Whisk together, temper, and heat to a boil:

25g cornstarch

40g sugar

35g egg yolks [2]

115g milk


Stir in off-heat:

7g butter

1/2T vanilla [3/4tsp paste]


Much too sweet and also too thick. Like a too-sweet pastry cream. (Betty Crocker uses 66g sugar and 16g cornstarch--have to try that one next.) Overall, I'm not terribly impressed with this book.
