2. Add Milk and Stir:
   Pour in 1/2 cup of milk and stir until the mixture becomes smooth. This forms the base of your pudding.

3. Scald Milk:
   In the top of a double boiler, scald 1 1/2 cups of milk. Scalding means heating the milk just below boiling point.

4. Incorporate Cornstarch Mixture:
   Slowly add the cornstarch mixture to the scalded milk, stirring constantly. This ensures a smooth consistency without any lumps.

5. Cook Slowly:
   Place the double boiler over boiling water and cook the mixture slowly. Keep stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth.

6. Cover and Cook Further:
   Once thickened, cover the mixture and continue cooking for an additional 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

7. Add Vanilla:
   After cooking, stir in the vanilla extract. This adds a delightful aroma and flavor to your pudding.

8. Pour into Molds:
   Rinse individual molds in cold water to prevent sticking. Then, pour the pudding mixture into the molds.

9. Chill Until Firm:
   Place the molds in the refrigerator and allow the pudding to chill until it becomes firm. This usually takes a few hours.

10. Serve and Enjoy:
    Once firm, unmold the pudding and serve it with your favorite toppings. Options include maple syrup, cream, chocolate sauce, sliced peaches, or sliced apricots.

Variations:

• Chocolate Pudding: For a chocolatey twist, add 1 square of unsweetened chocolate, melted, at the same time as the vanilla extract.

• Coconut Pudding: If you’re a coconut lover, add 1/2 cup of shredded coconut to the scalded milk for a tropical flair.
