i'm going to say it (as i found my way here via an auto play) you do not need cornflour in custard that is a personal option, an extra egg yoke makes it richer and the heat thickens it up on it's own.

And a lot of people use Bird’s custard powder - which is basically cornstarch/cornflour & little else! I think most people in the U.K. Use that and maybe don’t realize how different an egg custard can be. (My mom was an Aussie and that’s what she was used to.)

This is always my go to recipe. I drink this with warm milk and add custard. But will try with desserts like a strawberry short cake cup
Perfect 👍 I had 3 egg yolks left over from another recipe that used only egg whites. Yolks will become custard today. I did use 2 tsp of gelatin instead of the cornflour. I had to strain custard because cornflour left tiny lumps. But over all nice recipe.
Thank you for a small recipe! I always find huge amounts, when all I’m looking for is a small serving. ❤️👩🍳

@@suew4609 The Christmas pudding was made by my auntie. It's like a fruit pudding with brandy in it. It's a very dense and rich flavor and it contrasts well with warm custard which is a light creamy texture. And those two go well with a scoop of vanilla icecream and a serving of fresh sliced berries that are mixed with a little sugar to bring out the juices.
Just made this absolutely delish, but I would just use 1 tablespoon of sugar instead of 2 as it's to sweet 😋

Followed back to the site the instructions are confusing and inaccurate. Ingredients 2 whole eggs yolks 2 tsp cornflour 1 cups milk 2 tbs sugar to taste 1 tsp vanilla essence Instructions 1. Whisk eggs, cornflour and milk together until smooth. 2. Add milk to the stovetop and then add your mixture along with vanilla. 3. Continue whisking on the stovetop until the custard becomes thick and creamy. Already added milk in step 1. Wtf about the sugar?

Havent made this since I was a child and had to stir the pot for my mother but I have no concept of time and she would have been cooking for at least six. this is nicer than I remember from my childhood.
