Classic Caramel Pudding

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. 2

   In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar until it turns into a golden caramel. Carefully pour the caramel into a 9-inch round baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool.

3. 3

   In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling.

4. 4

   In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt.

5. 5

   Gradually add the warm milk to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking.

6. 6

   Pour the egg and milk mixture over the caramel in the baking dish.

7. 7

   Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan and fill the larger pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish.

8. 8

   Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. 9

   Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.

    To serve, run a knife around the edges of the pudding to loosen it, then invert onto a serving plate. Enjoy your Classic Caramel Pudding!
