Fresh egg custard

There is nothing more delicious than a homemade egg custard, this recipe is so worth making.

Ingredients

  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1 tbsp cornflour
  •  40z/100g golden caster sugar
  • Half teaspoon of vanilla bean pastes or extract
  •  ½ pint/ 250ml whole milk
  • ½ pint/ 250ml cream

Method

  1. Put the egg yolks and cornflour in a large heatproof mixing bowl and whisk in the sugar.
  2.  In a medium-sized saucepan heat the milk and cream over a low heat until it is just simmering. Pour the hot mixture over the egg yolks and cornflour and whisk continuously.
  3.  Pour the custard back into a clean saucepan and cook on a low heat, while stirring with a wooden spoon until it has the consistency of double cream. Strain the custard through a sieve into a large jug and set aside.
  4. Cover it with cling film, pushing the cling film onto the top of the custard, this prevents a skin from forming on the top of the custard.
