So, now let’s take a look at the tricks of making pudding in full detail…
As you have seen, it is possible to prepare delicious puddings in just four steps. However, you may need to have more knowledge to cook truly perfect puddings. So what are these important points?
One of the most important elements that add flavor to pudding is its slightly solid consistency. You need to keep stirring constantly while preparing the pudding in order to maintain its consistency.
On the other hand, it is worth underlining that the metal spoon you use while mixing will prevent the pudding from mixing sufficiently. In addition, metal spoons may cause damage to the pot.
Therefore, you can do the mixing process with one of the wooden spoons in your kitchen. Additionally, a whisk can be a good alternative to ensure that the ingredients are fully combined.
If you do not move fast enough or take a break while mixing, lumps may appear in the mixture. To prevent this, when you see lumps, you can disperse them by mixing in the opposite direction.
The ideal consistency of the pudding is neither too thick nor too liquid. If your mixture remains a little solid, we recommend that you add milk in a controlled manner while mixing.
Well, if the consistency of the pudding is liquid, what should we do? We are like the wall. In this case, you can add starch and milk into the pot in a controlled manner. However, in order to mix it, you need to make sure that the starch reaches the bottom of the pot. Otherwise, the taste of the pudding will spoil.
Another suggestion you can consider is to add the butter at the last stage. Thus, the consistency of the pudding will be more dense.
Now we come to the service stage… Just like supangle and keşkül, the pudding hardens when it is not consumed immediately after making and is kept in an open area. To prevent this situation, you can cover the pudding with a bowl or stretch film while waiting for it to cool, preventing it from getting air.
