Vanilla Pudding

Today my Grandma Esau went home to Heaven to be with her Lord. This recipe was originally hers and passed down by my mom. I love this pudding to make coconut or banana cream pies. It's also good for just plain eating!

5 tbsp. flour (heaping)
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups milk
2 egg yolks or 1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix flour, and sugar in microwave safe bowl. Add 1/2 cup of the milk and the eggs, stir with whisk. Heat the rest of the milk in the microwave until hot (not boiling). Add hot milk slowly to mixture, stirring well. Place in microwave, cook on high at 2-3 minute intervals until mixture thickens. Let cool 5 minutes, stir in vanilla. Cover bowl and let cool.

Note: use 2 egg yolks if you want to put a meringue on top of pudding, otherwise I just use a whole egg.
