Vanilla Custard
Method
Making the Vanilla Custard
Prepare the Custard Base
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is warm, but not boiling.
Cook the Custard
Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Add Vanilla
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the custard cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.
