#### **Step 1: Mix the Ingredients**
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and cornstarch. Whisk until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and no lumps remain.

Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook the mixture until it begins to thicken and bubble gently. This will take about 5-7 minutes. Continue to stir to prevent lumps or sticking.
#### **Step 4: Chill**
Let the pudding cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
