Custard recipe - Easy, simple an perfectly delicious

Bryce Wilkinson

Yummy custard without all the ingredients - I didn't have all the ingredients so used this is a base and gave it a go.. Instead, I used 3 yolks, 1 tbl spoon of plain flour and 300ml of milk and a few spashes of Madagascan vanilla essence. I've never made custard before, but this turned out great! I think the secret was to constantly stir and heat gently until starting to thicken - then take it off the heat, as once it turns it does so quickly. It will continue to thicken for a couple of minutes of the heat.

Perfect - OMG this custard is fantastic. I do use custard powder but wanted to try making from scratch. I'll use this method for very special recipes.
