• sugar 6 tablespoons adjust according to preference

Instructions

Instructions

• Whisk the eggs in a bowl.
• Add 2 cups of milk to the whisked eggs and whisk again to make a smooth egg milk mixture. I recommend straining this mixture through a good quality strainer in case the mixture is not very smooth.
• In a small bowl, add the cornstarch and 1/2 cup of milk, mix very well to form the cornstarch base without any lumps.
• Add the remaining 1/2 cup of milk to the cornstarch mixture and mix well to form a smooth mixture.
• Add this cornstarch milk mixture to the egg milk mixture, mix everything very well, you can use the balloon whisk for the best possible consistency.
• Transfer the contents to a medium sized saucepan, add in the sugar and vanilla essence, stir everything well and bring the mixture to a boil by cooking in medium heat, stirring continuously using a good wooden spoon or use a good quality steel spatula.
• Stirring continuously, cook the mixture in medium heat until the mixture is creamy. Mine took around 8 to 9 minutes to reach the desired consistency. You do not need to cook it further as the custard will further thicken a bit as it cools down. Once the custard is done, switch off the stove and keep the saucepan away from heat.
• Whisk the custard again using a balloon whisk for the best, smooth and creamy texture.
• You can check the sugar and if needed, you can add more sugar and vanilla essence to the custard, mix again very well using a balloon whisk.
• Let the custard cool down, and once it is cooled, it is ready to be used as you like, either warm or chilled or use as a base for other recipes.
