Go through the steps in this list to make vanilla custard at home!

1. Make the Base: Start by making the base for the custard. This is where most of the ingredients are going to go, starting with just the yolk from 2 eggs. Top the egg yolks with 2 tablespoons of sugar and then a tablespoon of cornflour. Then, grab a whisk to mix these three ingredients up as well as you can.
2. Warm Up Some Milk: Get a cup of milk and pour it inside of a pot. Heat up the pot and let the milk inside warm up for about 3-4 minutes. You’ll know that you can move on to the next step just when the milk is starting to bubble up.
3. Add Base and Mix: Once the milk is warm enough that it’s bubbling, you can grab the bowl with the base and pour it into the pot too. Mix both things up using a wooden spoon until they’re dissolved together and let it sit for a little bit before adding 2 drops of vanilla essence to the pot too. Mix everything up one last time and let it cook until it’s thick enough.
4. Cool Down and Wait or Serve: If you did everything in the last step, then the custard is ready to serve! You’re done with the recipe, but now one last step to take care of is to decide whether you want the custard cold or to eat it while it’s warm. Personally, I love it both ways and it just depends on my mood. On a hot day a nice cold bowl of custard feels great, but when I’m sick warm custard is so much better. That’s a decision you can make for yourself depending on what you prefer. If you want it cold, pour the custard into a large bowl and let it sit out for a bit so that the bowl can cool off before you place it in the fridge for 2-3 hours. But, if you want it warm, pour it all into a bowl and serve the vanilla custard as soon as it comes off the oven! Either way, I’m sure you’ll enjoy this quick little recipe of mine.
