Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk (can use regular milk) I think the evaporated milk makes it a richer pudding
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 egg yolks
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter or margarine

Instructions

Mix milk, salt, egg yolks, cornstarch, sugar and vanilla in a pot on top of the stove with a wire whisk.  Cut butter into small pieces and add to the pot.

Cook on medium high heat until comes to boil and thickens stirring constantly with whisk. It will burn easily, so keep stirring.  I cook mine about 4 or 5 minutes in all.

You should be able to tell when it starts bubbling and gets thick.  Pour into serving dishes.  Let cool in refrigerator.

Sprinkle on nutmeg or cinnamon and fruits of your choice for toppings. Makes about 4 servings.
