Custard (without Eggs & Butter)

3 cups cold milk
4 tablespoons corn starch or arrowroot powder
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon/15ml vanilla extract

Combine milk, corn starch/arrowroot and sugar in a medium saucepan. Whisk until corn starch/arrowroot is thoroughly dissolved. Cook over medium-low heat, gently whisking, until mixture begins to thicken. Add vanilla extract; then, continue to whisk until mixture has thickened. (Recipe makes a more pourable custard.) Serve warm or chilled.
