Notes
- 1. Use room temperature eggs for better texture and rise.
- 2. Don’t overmix — gentle folding keeps the pudding light.
- 3. Add a splash of vanilla for a hint of sweetness.
- 4. Use whole milk for the richest consistency.
- 5. Bake until just set — overbaking makes it dry.
- 6. Let it rest before serving — it thickens beautifully as it cools.
- 7. Double the recipe if you’re feeding a crowd — it disappears fast!
