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.
