Soft & Fluffy Milk Pudding

Soft & Fluffy Milk Pudding

This looks like a light, airy baked milk pudding — soft, slightly bubbly texture, and melts in the mouth 🤍 Perfect simple dessert with basic ingredients!

🛒 Ingredients

• 4 eggs (room temperature)
• ½ cup sugar
• 2 cups warm milk
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 1 tbsp melted butter (optional, for richness)
• 1 tbsp flour or cornflour (optional – for slightly firmer texture)

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Detailed Recipe

🔹 Step 1: Prepare the Mixture

1. In a bowl, crack 4 eggs.
2. Add sugar and whisk until slightly light and creamy.
   (Do not overbeat, just mix well.)
3. Add vanilla essence and melted butter.
4. Slowly pour warm milk while mixing continuously.
5. If using flour/cornflour, sift and mix until smooth.

💡 Tip: Strain the mixture for extra smooth texture.

🔹 Step 2: Prepare Baking Dish

1. Lightly grease a glass or baking dish.
2. Pour the mixture into the dish.

🔹 Step 3: Water Bath Baking (Important!)

1. Place the filled dish inside a larger baking tray.
2. Pour hot water into the larger tray (halfway up the sides).
   This prevents cracks and keeps pudding soft.

• Bake for 35–45 minutes.
• Center should be set but slightly jiggly.

🔹 Step 5: Cool & Chill

2. Let it cool at room temperature.
3. Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours before slicing.

🍽️ Serving Tip

• Slice gently with a sharp knife.
• Serve plain or drizzle with caramel or fruit sauce.
