Velvet pudding

10 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 Eggs; separated
4 cups Milk
1 cup Sugar; divided
4 tablespoons Cornstarch
1 pinch Salt
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Directions

Separate eggs; beat yolks wel and mix with milk. Combine ¾ cup sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add milk and egg yolks to sugar mixture. Cook in double boiler until thick, stirring often. Remove from heat; add vanilla.

Beat egg whites and ¼ cup sugar until stiff. Put budding in a baking dish and spread egg whites over the top of the pudding. Brown the meringue in a 350° oven until desired brown. Serves 10.

The pudding is also delicious if the egg whites are folded into the pudding while it is hot.
