6 servings
- 2 cups whole milk
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- ¼ tsp fine salt
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Ingredient noteThough high-fat foods can worsen reflux, this recipe has only a small amount of butter (~1 teaspoon per serving), making it likely fine for many with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid butter, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- 1
Whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan until evenly combined with no lumps.
- 2
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking constantly, starting with just a few tablespoons to form a smooth slurry before adding the rest, until fully incorporated and lump-free.
