Ingredients

1 pint skim milk (473 mL or approx 2 cups)3 eggs6 tbsp sugar4 tbsp cornflour6 drops vanilla essence1/2 cup skim milk (additional)

Directions

1. Put pint of milk in saucepan over low heat. Heat slowly, stir often and do not boil.

2. Meanwhile beat eggs, sugar and vanilla essence in large bowl until well combined.

3. Dissolve cornflour in half cup of milk, mix throughly to ensure no lumps remain.

4. Add milk/cornflour to eggs/sugar and beat until combined.

5. Pour hot milk into other ingredients and beat lightly.

6. Pour hot milk/egg mix into the saucepan and return to low heat

7. Whisk continuously and heat slowly. Do not use a spoon for this as the custard will thicken unevenly and a whisk avoids it going lumpy.

8. Mixture will turn into thick custard. Further heating will thicken some more but be careful not to burn. Custard will thicken even further on cooling.

I have made this for many years and is so good.
I add variation by adding fruit of the season cut up in it and gives a different flavour such as oranges, strawberrys etc.
Sometimes just a dab of jam in the center does the trick. Looks good and has that extra fruit zip to it. - 3/13/09
