This custard recipe is a combination of a few different recipes I've tried. It's not too rich or too sweet as many egg custards can be. Can be served warm immediately or cold.
Ingredients
- 4 cups whole milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cups white sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
-
1
Gather all ingredients.
-
2
Place milk, vanilla extract, and butter in a saucepan.
-
3
Cook and stir over medium heat until simmering; remove from heat before it comes to a boil.
-
4
Whisk eggs, sugar, and cornstarch together in a bowl until sugar dissolves.
-
5
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.
-
6
Serve warm or transfer custard into a large bowl and cover.
-
7
Allow to cool before chilling. Enjoy!
