Ingredients
- 4 egg yolks at room temperature
- 4 teaspoon cornstarch cornflour
- 2 tablespoon sugar See notes
- 2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add the egg yolks to a large jug and whisk in the cornflour and sugar.
- Pour the milk into a small sauce pan, add in the vanilla extract and heat until it is warm but not hot. You should be able to put your finger in and hold it there.
- Remove the milk from the heat and pour it slowly into the egg mixture, stirring whilst you do.
- Tip the egg and milk mixture back into the sauce pan and use a whisk to whisk it constantly whilst you bring it to a boil.
- Once it reaches boiling, remove from the heat and keep whisking until the custard is thick.
- Serve immediately or transfer to a jug to cool down, ensuring you push a layer of cling wrap onto the custard surface to prevent a skin forming.
Notes
- I usually like to use brown sugar for my custard as it gives it a deeper flavour. But any sugar will work. The pictures above were made with white sugar.
