Custard

Condiments

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole milk
• ½ tbsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp butter
• 2 large eggs, or 3 medium
• ¼ cup white sugar
• 1½ tbsp cornstarch or potato starch

Method

1. Place milk, vanilla extract, and butter in a saucepan.
2. Cook and stir over medium heat until simmering; remove from heat before it comes to a boil.
3. Whisk eggs, sugar, and starch together in a bowl until sugar dissolves.
4. Set the saucepan back over low heat. Pour in egg mixture slowly, whisking constantly, until custard thickens enough to coat the bottom of a spoon, 5 to 10 minutes.
5. Serve warm or transfer custard into a large bowl and cover, allowing to cool before refrigerating.
