Jell-O-Style Pudding

1 tablespoon + 1 to 2 teaspoons cornstarch, depending on how thick you like it

2 to 3 tablespoons sugar, depending on how sweet you like it

small pinch of salt

splash of vanilla extract (I used the beans from half a pod in the vid)

½ teaspoon butter or other fat (optional)

Combine the starch, sugar and salt and stir thoroughly to combine. Put the milk in a pot, whisk in the dry ingredients, bring to a simmer until the liquid visibly thickens. Turn off the heat, stir in the vanilla, melt in the butter (if using), pour in a serving bowl, let cool until it stops steaming, cover if you want to prevent a skin from forming, refrigerate for a few hours until wobbly.
