Preparation Time: 5 Minutes
Cooking Time: 10 Minutes

By Patricia

To make your own homemade custard it takes a little time but it's well worth the effort, there are also different ways to serve it, whether as a pouring custard over a sponge pudding like Spotted Dick, or just on its own or even with sliced banana. Freshly homemade, custard has a delicate flavour all of its own.

Ingredients: Serves 4
3 eggs yolks
20 fluid oz's milk
25g (1oz) sugar
A few drops of vanilla essence

Cooking Instructions:

1. Separate eggs leave the whites to one side, beat eggs yolks.

2. Warm the milk in a saucepan but don�t boil.

3. Beat the eggs yolks and the milk together.

4. Pour the mix into a heat proof jug or basin, put to stand in a saucepan of hot water.

5. Place the saucepan back to the heat and keep stirring until the mixture thickens.

6. Make sure the heat isn�t too high to avoid curdling the custard.

7.Mix the sugar and a couple of drops of vanilla essence to the custard.
