Ingredients

Instructions

Place milk and cream in a small saucepan and heat over a low heat until simmering. Do not allow to boil.

In a clean bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar and cornflour together until smooth and blended.

Pour the hot milk over the egg mixture and whisk continuously with a balloon whisk until well mixed. Return custard to the pan, add vanilla extract and gently heat over a low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the custard thickens sufficiently to coat the back of the spoon.

Pour custard into serving jug and serve immediately.

If necessary, to keep the custard warm, fill a pan with hot water (not boiling), cover the jug with cling film to prevent a surface film from forming, and immerse the jug in the hot water.

Makes about 600ml or 1 pint and will serve up to 6.
