Ensure the eggs are at room temperature for better incorporation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour?
Using all-purpose flour will work, but you’ll need to add baking powder and salt to mimic self-rising flour. For each cup of all-purpose flour, add 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt. This ensures your pudding rises and has the right texture.
Is it possible to make this recipe vegan?
Yes, you can make a vegan version by substituting the eggs with a flaxseed meal or chia seed mixture (1 tablespoon of flaxseed or chia seeds mixed with 3 tablespoons of water equals 1 egg). Use a plant-based oil and non-dairy milk to keep it vegan-friendly.
How can I make this pudding more flavorful?
You can add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm flavor profile. Additionally, incorporating citrus zest, such as lemon or orange, can brighten the taste. A splash of almond extract in place of some vanilla can also add a lovely twist to the flavor.
