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!

Cowboy Butter Spaghetti
Turn humble buttered noodles into cowboy butter spaghetti. Spicy compound butter and cream combine in a sauce for spaghetti that can be a side dish as it is, or you can add chicken, bacon, shrimp, or vegetables and make it a main.
Quick Classic Gazpacho
For the ultimate gazpacho, you must peel, seed, dice, salt, and drain really good, vine-ripened tomatoes. But if you don't have time to fuss with fresh tomatoes, try this gazpacho with canned tomatoes. I've found the canned variety makes a fine substitute. Another advantage? Fresh tomatoes start to deteriorate as soon as the soup is refrigerated, but canned tomatoes are unaffected by the chill.
