Introduction

This recipe makes a really thick custard (that wobbles on your spoon when cool and can practically be cut with a knife). It's sweet and ideal with puddings, cake, fruit salad or even on its own.

Ingredients

1 pint skim milk (473 mL or approx 2 cups)

3 eggs

6 tbsp sugar

4 tbsp cornflour

6 drops vanilla essence

1/2 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.

Makes 8 cups (8 - 12 servings depending on generosity)
