Super easy custard

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together:
    • 1 egg yolk
    • 1 tablespoon sugar
    • 1 teaspoon cornflour
    until smooth and pale.
  2. Pour 240 ml milk into a small saucepan and heat on low–medium heat until warm (do not boil).
  3. Slowly pour about 2-3 tablespoons of the warm milk into the egg mixture while whisking constantly.
  4. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan.
  5. Cook on low heat, stirring constantly with a spoon or whisk, for 3–5 minutes until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in ½ teaspoon vanilla if using.
  7. Serve warm or let it cool (it thickens more as it cools).
