Didn't have a problem with lumps at all; sugar needs to be cut down a bit though. Added a dash of nutmeg and cinnamon. Delicious.

Very easy and good...... I folded in some cooked white rice to make rice pudding. It took maybe 10 minutes to make.

Really thin... I had to double the cornstarch! Also halved the sugar.

I used to make pudding all the time and it was delicious but whenever I make this pudding something always goes wrong. Plus it just tastes like sugar and milk. and it's always lumpy.

Lumps? I didn't get any lumps and I couldn't even find my whisk to stir it with...did the lot with a simple wooden spoon! Followed the recipe exactly as written and got a great pudding as a result. Easy. Perhaps a vanilla bean instead of extract would impart better flavour but this was good enough. I sprinkled nutmeg on top and served it still warm poured over a sliced banana. It was also great poured warm over the lemon cupcakes I'd just made. Yum!

Great pudding! I added a hint of cinnamon,too. I have made this more than once!

This was my first time making home made pudding and I found this recipe to be very easy to make and also delicious. I did not have regular milk here at home so I used a 12oz can of evaporated milk and added 4 oz of water to make 2 cups of milk. I whisked the dry ingredients together in a bowl before I added them to the hot milk to break up any lumps in the cornstarch and then added them as instructed in the recipe. It turned out very smooth and just perfect! Will definitely make this again!

Delicious!!! Took the suggestions of others and mixed my dry ingredients up first then added the cold milk, which was skim. Added a dash of cinnamon and after waiting and waiting (and waiting :) ) for the pudding to set, found it far better than any store bought. I'll make this often, only I will reduce the sugar by at least half the next time. Thanks!

This is now our family's favorite vanilla pudding recipe. To prevent lumps: mix dry ingredients first. Then pour cold milk and whisk until thoroughly mixed BEFORE turning on the heat. We decreased sugar. The pudding was so smooth, creamy, and yummy! Our favorite way of serving vanilla pudding is warm from the stove with sliced bananas and a bit of half & half.

This was great! I was looking for a topping for waffles (I normally use purchased vanilla pudding - the kind you have to cook - but I made a mistake and bought instant). This is MUCH better than warm store-bought puddings on waffles (with peaches - YUMMY). I'm only giving this four stars because it really does need an egg. Although, maybe if I'd used whole milk I wouldn't be saying this. However, even with skim milk, it was wonderful. I'll be using this recipe again.

we enjoyed this! nice and easy! i sprinkled a little nutmeg on top! yummy!

great pudding my kids loved it, i added extra vanilla extract to it made it even better....i didnt have any cornstarch so i substituted flour for it u just have to use double the flour that it calls for and i also mixed all the dry ingreadents together then whisked in the milk and vanilla in slowly cam out great!

Very good recipe. I replace the milk with chocolate soy milk due to my intolerance to lactose and it came out great.

I loved this! I put all of the ingredients except the butter in a lidded jar, shook to blend & then proceeded with the recipe as written. I had a vanilla bean which added tons of flavor. I had no problem with it setting up too thick, it turned out perfectly. I even used 1% milk! I can't wait to try it using other flavors & I might see how it freezes. Thanks so much for such a quick, easy, & delish recipe!:o)

Wins points for being super quick and easy, but I would not serve this to guests. Did mix the cornstarch and sugar in cold milk, however should have read more reviews - used skim milk and the finished product was an odd color.
