Ingredients
- 500 ml milk
- 100 g caster sugar
- 4 large egg yolks
- 2 tsp cornflour
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a saucepan, heat the milk over low heat until it's warm but not boiling. Remove it from the heat and set it aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, caster sugar, and cornflour until well combined.
- Gradually pour the warm milk into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to avoid curdling.
- Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and return it to low heat. Cook while stirring constantly until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Allow the custard to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to whisk continuously when combining the milk with the egg mixture to prevent curdling.
- You can serve this custard on its own or as a delicious topping for desserts like fruit tarts or puddings.
