Ingredients
  

  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 600 ml full-fat milk
  • 4 Egg yolks large, free-range
  • 2 tbsp caster sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornflour

Instructions
 

  • Halve the vanilla pod and scrape out the seeds. Add both the pod and seeds to a pan on a medium-low heat, pour in the milk and bring just to the boil.
  • Remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly, then pick out the vanilla pod.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar and cornflour until pale.
  • Gradually add the warm milk, a ladle at a time, whisking well before each addition.
  • Pour the mixture back into the pan and cook gently on a low heat for about 20 minutes or until thickened, whisking continuously. Delicious served with all kinds of crumble.

Notes

Tips

Don’t panic if your egg starts to scramble – simply take it off the heat and pour the custard into a bowl to cool, then strain through a sieve to remove any lumps. Job done!
