Curse these lockdowns!

Quarantine has deprived us of many things. Glancing at the calendar just now I realized that among them was National Vanilla Pudding Day, which blew by us last Friday with scarcely a mention. Speaking for the Pastry family, we never even got the tree up, much less got out to sing the usual pudding carols.

All is not lost, however. For those who, like us, were left bereft this year, I heartily recommend the vanilla pudding that’s here on the site. Believe it or not, it’s one of the most popular recipes I’ve ever written. Enjoy it and look forward to next year!
