Homemade Custard

Ingredients
570ml / 1 pint fresh milk
55 ml / 2fl oz single cream
1 /2 tsp good vanilla extract
4 egg yolks
30g / 1 oz caster sugar
2tsp cornflour

 
Method:
1. Whisk the egg yolks, sugar and cornflour together in a large bowl until well combined .

2. Bring the milk and cream to a simmering point on a low heat.

3. Pour the hot milk onto the egg mixture, whisking all the time with a balloon whisk.

4. Return to the pan and on a low heat, add vanilla extract, stir gently and continuously with a wooden spoon until the custard is thick and smooth; which will happen as soon as it reaches simmering point, then turn off the heat. ( Take great care not to over heat it, or they will curdle and look grainy. If that happens, try transfer it to a clean measuring jug or a bowl and continue to whisk it until it becomes smooth again or straining it through a sieve may help too. )

5. Pour custard into a jug and serve it at once.

6. To keep hot, stand the jug in hot water, and cover the top with cling film to prevent the skin forming.
