Classic Vanilla Custard

In my quest to feed healthy food to my toddler twins , I have found egg to be my favourite ingredient.

Custards are loved all over the world but I don’t find it exciting enough to just pour some powder out of a packet and serve it to my kids.

This is a Classic Vanilla Custard made from the scratch using eggs. I have used my exotic Vanilla extract with seeds , which I got from Mauritius. I wish I had got loads of it .

Classic Vanilla Custard

Prep Time: 2 minutes

Cooking Time : 7-10 minutes

Yield : 1 cup (Serves 2)

Ingredients :

Milk : 1 cup (I ve used Pasteurised Cow Milk)
Egg : 1 in no.
Corn Flour : 1 tbsp
Sugar : 2 tbsp
Vanilla extract : 1/2 tsp

Method :

Whisk an egg in a bowl. Keep it aside.
Take milk , corn flour and sugar in a saucepan and whisk well. Cook on medium heat till you can see bubbles along the rim. Whisk occasionally in between. Take it off heat once bubbles appear .
Pour 2 tbsp of this milk-cornflour-sugar mix in the egg and whisk .
Put the rest milk-cornflour-sugar mix back on low heat and immediately start pouring the egg-mix slowly into it. Whisk continuously and cook till it thickens. It should take 2 minutes . Do not let it boil.
It should be smooth without any Egg strands .
Remove it from heat and mix the vanilla extract.
Serve warm. Or chill in refrigerator and serve chilled. Both ways it’s silky smooth and yummy.
