Quick And Easy Custard Recipes

Steps:

• Add the milk and cream and the vanilla pod (not extract yet) to a large saucepan and bring to a simmer slowly. once simmering take out the pod.
• Mix the yolks, cornflour and sugar in a large bowl until they are well mixed. into this slowly add the simmering milk and cream mix making sure to mix well all the time.
• Return all the mix back to the pan (add extract now if using that rather than pods) and use a wooden spoon to mix over a low heat until the custard begins to thicken, check to see if it is coating the back of the spoon to do this.
• You can either serve right away or it can be stored in the fridge and warmed later but you will want to cover the top with something so that you don't get a skin over the top. This can be eaten warm or cold.

Steps:

• 1. Combine milk, sugar, eggs,and vanilla. Whisk well. Pour into top of a double boiler. Whisk continuously over gently boiling water until thickened. Watch continuously for a very thick cream look.

• 2. Place six 4-ounce ovenproof cups (you can use ramekins, or coffee cups marked as oven-safe) in a deep baking pan just large enough to hold them.
• 3. In a medium saucepan, bring the milk to a simmer over medium-low heat.
• 4. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, yolks, sugar, and vanilla.
• 5. Slowly pour the egg mixture into the simmering milk, whisking gently to combine.
• 6. Pour the mixture through a fine strainer into the cups (if the strainer clogs, use a spoon to scrape it clean), then sprinkle lightly with the nutmeg.
• 7. Pour hot (not boiling) water into the pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the cups.
• 8. Bake until the custard is just set (it can still be a little loose), 30 to 35 minutes.
