Vanilla Custard
Method
Preparation Steps
Cook the Milk and Cream
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and heavy cream. Place over medium heat and heat until just below boiling, stirring occasionally.
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
Combine and Cook
Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk and cream mixture. Add the sugar and cornstarch mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Add Vanilla
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Chill
Transfer the custard to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
