Vanilla custard
- 8 egg yolks
4 cups (1 L) milk
3/4 cup (175 mL) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (125 mL) cornstarch
1 tbsp (15 mL) vanilla
Preparation
In bowl, whisk together egg yolks, 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the milk, the sugar and cornstarch.
In heavy saucepan, heat remaining milk over medium heat just until bubbles form around edge; gradually whisk into yolk mixture. Return to pan and cook, stirring, until mixture is thick enough to mound on spoon, 3 to 5 minutes.
Strain through fine sieve into clean bowl; stir in vanilla. Place plastic wrap directly on surface. Refrigerate until cold, about 4 hours. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
