This warm, sweet, traditional vanilla custard is the perfect complement to crumbles, cakes, and pies. If you don’t finish it straight from the pot first!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 1/2 cups 2% milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- WHISK sugar with yolks in a large bowl until pale and fluffy, 1 min. Whisk in cornstarch until combined.
- HEAT milk in a medium saucepan over medium-high until it starts to simmer. Slowly pour hot milk into yolk mixture, whisking constantly, until combined. Pour mixture back into saucepan and set over medium-low. Continue cooking, using a wooden spoon to stir constantly, until mixture has thickened and coats back of spoon, 8 to 10 min. Strain through a fine mesh sieve. Stir in vanilla. Press a piece of plastic wrap on surface and refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour.
