Quick English Custard #recipe #goodfood

For a nice sized serving.
Byrds has nothing on this, and it’s about as easy as using the packets.

  • 1 cup milk (330 ml)
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch (corn flour in the UK)
  • dash of vanilla extract

Heat the milk gently.

While the milk is warming, use a whisk to mix the yolks, sugar and corn starch.

When the milk is hot add the yolk mixture to it and whisk it in. It’s unlikely that all the mixture will pour into the milk. So take some of the warm mixture and put it in the bowl with the yolk mixture. Whisk again. Repeat until all the yolk is mixed with the milk.

Heat, while whisking until it’s thick.

Enjoy. Other variants might add a dash of brandy.

A mild-mannered professor of computer science in real-life, I remove my glasses in the evening to become, well, a mild-mannered author in my alternate reality. I mostly write sweet romantic fiction, although with an occasional science-fiction or paranormal angle thrown in. I have interests in history, mathematics (D'oh), and cryptography. I'm also something of an Anglophile, and know that country pretty well. In addition to writing, research, and more writing, I volunteer with the scouts. I'm something of a nature-nut, enjoying long walks in the country with almost ultra-light gear, boating, and identifying wildlife.
