Instructions
- Take 1-2 tbsp of milk from the original pint of milk and add it to the cornstarch. Mix together to make a slurry. Make sure there are no lumps.
- Put the egg yolk, sugar and the remainder of the milk into a pot. Warm this mixture over a low to medium heat.
- On a chopping board and with a firm grip on the vanilla bean, slice it lengthways. Lay each half length flat on the board and scrape out the pods using a paring knife. Transfer these pods to the pot.
- Add the cornstarch slurry to the pot. The pot contents will start to thicken as the sauce forms. Keep stirring gently and continuously. Simmer for a minute and then remove from the heat.
Notes
- German Vanilla Sauce has a thinner consistency than most sauces. It will thicken a little as it cools, but it is not meant to be a thick sauce.
