- Arrow-root
- Thickens the milk into a smooth, glossy pudding as it cooks and gels.
- Milk
- Forms the liquid base that the starch thickens into a creamy texture.
The step that matters
Mixing the arrow-root into a paste with cold milk. Starch clumps if added directly to hot liquid. Blending it first with cold milk separates the granules so they disperse evenly and thicken smoothly when the boiling milk is added.
