Steps

40 minutes

1

In a bowl, mix the flour and sugar.
2

Pour in all the milk and stir until smooth.
3

Mix in the egg yolks and add the split vanilla bean (I used vanilla powder this time).
4

Thicken over a double boiler for about 20-25 minutes, stirring constantly, until it reaches the desired thickness. It should be like a light, fluffy pudding.
5

Once it reaches the right thickness, remove from the double boiler and continue stirring in the bowl for a few more minutes to prevent the edges from overheating and curdling.
6

Cover with plastic wrap between stirrings to prevent a skin from forming on top.
7

Once cooled, pour the finished vanilla custard over aranygaluska, steamed dumplings, or poppy seed bread pudding.
