Equipment
measuring cups and spoons
large saucepan
medium bowl
whisk
large serving bowl or 8 individual serving dishes
Ingredients
4 cups milk, divided
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup (75 mL) cornstarch
2 tsp rose water (optional)
1 to 3 tsp (5 to 15 mL) vanilla (see below)
1/4 cup (60 mL) raisins
1/2 tsp (2 mL) cinnamon
Directions
In a large saucepan, stir 3 cups of milk with sugar. Set over medium-high heat, stir and bring to a simmer.
Place remaining milk in a medium bowl. Whisk in cornstarch until dissolved. Once milk reaches a simmer, whisking continuously, add cornstarch mixture.
Bring to a full rolling boil; stir continuously until mixture thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in rose water, if using, and 1 tsp vanilla. If not using rose water, stir in 3 tsp vanilla.
Pour into a bowl or individual serving dishes. To prevent a skin from forming, place plastic wrap on surface of pudding. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or until set. Discard plastic wrap.
Sprinkle with raisins and cinnamon or your favourite toppings.
This classic, cool dessert can be enjoyed simply with strawberries or elevated by the addition of dried lavender or rosemary for a fresh summer flavour.
