Classic Custard Dessert
Ingredients
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
1
Combine milk, vanilla extract, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
2
Stir constantly until the mixture reaches a gentle simmer, then carefully remove it from the heat before it boils over.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, and cornstarch until the sugar is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
4
Return the saucepan to low heat and gradually pour in the egg mixture, whisking continuously until the custard reaches a suitable consistency that coats the bottom of a spoon, taking around 5 to 10 minutes.
5
Serve the warm custard immediately or transfer it into a large bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and allow it to cool before refrigerating.
