    In a saucepan, whisk together 4 cups of milk, 1 cup of sugar, 1/3 cup of cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt until well blended.

    Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to thicken, which will take about 15-20 minutes.

    Once thick, remove from heat and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.

    Pour the pudding mixture into individual serving dishes or a single large dish. Let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

    Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the pudding to set properly. You can cover it with plastic wrap to avoid a skin forming on top.
