Vanilla custard, a quick and simple recipe

Step 1

Boil the milk with the sliced vanilla bean and its seeds.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix the egg yolks with the sugar, until it gets creamy and white. Add the corn starch and mix well.

Step 3

Once the milk has boiled, gradually add it to the previous mix, and put it back on the heat. Thicken this on medium heat, stirring constantly.

Step 4

When the cream gets thick enough (it will get thicker when cooling down), pour it in the serving ramekins. Put in the fridge for at least 3 hours.

Step 5

There you are, your vanilla custard is ready!
