Simple Custard

This is my own alteration of a few different recipes. Not too rich or too sweet as many egg custards can be. Can be served warm immediately or cold.

Ingredients

• ½ cup white sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon butter
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 4 cups whole milk

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Cook and stir milk, vanilla extract, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat until simmering. Remove mixture from heat before it comes to a boil.

Step 2

Whisk eggs, sugar, and cornstarch together in a bowl until sugar dissolves.

Step 3

Set saucepan back over low heat. Pour in egg mixture slowly, whisking constantly, until custard thickens enough to coat the bottom of a spoon, 5 to 10 minutes.
