Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
For a richer pudding, Grandma occasionally added a pat of butter per serving to the pudding mixture after removing it from the heat. To prevent a "skin" from forming on the pudding, she covered each serving with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding before chilling.
