There are myriad ways you can make a pudding, including either by baking, steaming or refrigerating it for a few hours. However, no matter whatever final step you choose, ingredients play the ultimate important role that decides whether you will get a jiggly-wiggly pudding that is soft, tender, delicious, and has a melt-in-the-mouth texture or a one that tastes unpleasing and awful. Take a peek at some simple tips that will help you out in the future whenever you want to make a perfect pudding in a jiffy. So let's get started and get you skilled at making a mushy pudding at home.
1. Always use condensed milk
It's always preferable to use condensed milk over boiled milk. Condensed milk never plays with the consistency of pudding and prevents it from being too watery, giving it a jelly-like texture that you desire. If you still wish to add milk, use milk and condensed milk in the same quantity.
2. Eggs add to the texture
Contrary to the fact that nowadays people have adjusted to making pudding without eggs. We recommend you always use eggs as it adds to the texture of the pudding. It makes it softer, fluffier and creamier. Always wish eggs separately and add vanilla essence to your pudding mix to avoid the smell and taste of eggs.
3. Always use cornstarch for setting
This is one of the essential ingredients that most people forget to use or take into consideration. To set your pudding well, make use of cornstarch as it helps in better binding of pudding by absorbing excess water, if any and thus thickens the mixture.
4. Never forget to grease the pudding cups
The most important part of making pudding is to grease the pudding cup/ dish with butter evenly from all the sides. It is necessary if you want a well-shaped and jiggly pudding. Some prefer to wet their cups with water slightly, and you can try this as well.
