Custard

Original Recipe Makes 1 cup (2 serves)

Ingredients

• 1 cups whole milk
• 1/4 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon butter
• 1 eggs
• 1/8 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Directions

• Cook and stir milk, vanilla extract, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat until simmering. Remove mixture from heat before it comes to a boil.
• Whisk eggs, sugar, and cornstarch together in a bowl until sugar dissolves.
• Set saucepan back over low heat. Pour in egg mixture slowly, whisking constantly, until custard thickens enough to coat the bottom of a spoon, 5 to 10 minutes.

Notes

• Alternative method: Heat all ingredients except the egg to a simmer. Whisk the egg in a seperate bowl then add a few tablespoons of the hot mix to the egg, one tablespoon at a time. Carry on with step 3.
• Good with chocolate chips or cinnamon.
