Method

  1. In a jug whisk together the egg yolks, cornflour and sugar until well combined.

  2. In a saucepan gently heat the milk and vanilla until warm (not hot!), remove from the heat and add the milk to the egg mixture.

  3. Tip it back into the saucepan and whisk constantly until boiling.  Take off the heat and whisk until the custard is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (if mixture isn't thickening, gently heat again).

  4. Serve hot or cold.

  5. If serving cold - add a layer of plastic wrap to the surface of the custard to prevent a skin forming.

Recipe Hints and Tips:

  • Not Suitable for freezing keep covered in the fridge for 3 days.
  • Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg.
