Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place the cornstarch in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in 1 cup of the milk (or more if needed) until cornstarch is well incorporated and you have a smooth mixture.

• Cook the mixture until has thickened enough that you can see the bottom of the pan for several seconds when you stir (do not let it come all the way to a boil), about 10 to 12 minutes. Stir constantly so that the cornstarch doesn't clump, and the mixture doesn't burn.
• Add raisins and/or nuts if desired, and remove from heat. Stir in the butter and vanilla.
• Pour the mixture into a greased 8-inch square glass pan or in any greased mold. Refrigerate until firm.
