Ingredients
- 3 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup white sugar (about 57g / 2 ounce)
- 2 Tbsp plain flour (all purpose flour) (20g / 0.7 ounce)
- 1 cup whole milk (250g / 8.8 ounce)
- 15 g butter , salted (0.5 ounce)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine egg yolks and white sugar in a large bowl, whisking them together until they blend seamlessly. Then, whisk in the flour until the mixture achieves a smooth consistency.
- Place the milk and butter in a saucepan. Warm them over low heat, stirring frequently to ensure even heating. Keep the mixture on the heat until the butter is fully melted into the milk, which should take around 5 minutes.
- Gradually pour the warm milk and butter mixture into the bowl containing the egg mixture from step 1. Continuously whisk the ingredients while adding the milk to ensure a smooth combination.
- Strain the combined mixture through a fine-mesh strainer, returning it to the saucepan. This step will help eliminate any lumps, ensuring a silky custard. Stir in the vanilla extract, then return the saucepan to medium-low heat.
- Continue stirring until the custard thickens to your preference. This process usually takes around 8-10 minutes. Once achieved, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the custard to cool down for about 5 minutes. Refrigerate the custard for at least 2 hours to cool down and let it set properly.
- Your delicious homemade custard is now ready to enjoy. Use it in your shakes, such as a Makgeolli Shake, serve it with fresh fruit, or simply enjoy it on its own.
