Muhallebi (Milk Pudding)

Ingredients

• 1 litre milk
• 5 tablespoons corn starch
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 sachet vanilla sugar
• To finish: cinnamon or pistachios

Method

1. Mix the starch smooth in one cup of cold milk, leaving no lumps.
2. Heat the rest of the milk with the sugar, stirring.
3. Pour in the starch mixture in a thin stream and keep stirring.
4. Cook gently for about ten minutes, until it coats the back of the spoon.
5. Take off the heat and stir in the vanilla sugar.
6. Divide between bowls, stirring now and then as it cools so no skin forms, then chill.
