I absolutely love vanilla custard, and I know that a lot of people can find it intimidating to make from scratch, but it is much simpler than you might have thought... and so much tastier!

Steps

10 minutes

1

Heat the milk and vanilla, until it just comes to the boil.
2

Whilst the milk is heating up, mix together the yolks, sugar and cornflour, it should look like a smooth paste.
3

Slowly add the warm milk to the paste & stir well with a whisk.
4

Put the mixture back in the saucepan and stir constantly with the whisk until the custard thickens.

Top Tip:
On Britain's Best Home Cook I flavoured my custard with orange zest, and Mary Berry loved it, but you could use any flavouring you want, such as lemon zest of vanilla.
