Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a medium saucepan, whisk together the 4 cups milk, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup cornstarch until smooth, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Place over medium heat and stir constantly with a whisk until the mixture thickens and just begins to bubble, about 10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Reduce heat to low and continue stirring for 2 minutes until the pudding is thick and coats the back of a spoon.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the pudding into 4 serving bowls and let cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle each with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and 1 tablespoon nuts before serving.
