BBC Custard Recipe
BBC Custard Recipe

This easy custard is great for everyday puddings and is also a skill that's useful for other recipes like ice cream or creme

Preparation time
less than 30 mins
Cooking time
10 to 30 mins
Serves 4

Ingredients
600ml/1 pint full-fat milk
1 vanilla pod
3 free-range eggs, yolks only
2 tsp cornflour

Method
Heat the milk with the vanilla pod until just boiling.
Mix together the egg yolks and cornflour in a bowl to get a smooth paste.
Pour the milk into the paste and stir well.
Strain the mixture back into a clean saucepan and, stirring constantly, cook gently until the custard thickens.

Recipe Tips
You can substitute 1 tsp vanilla extract for the vanilla pod. Just add it after the eggs and milk have thickened and before it cools.

You can remove, wash and dry the vanilla pod to re-use in another recipe.
