Ingredients
- Fresh milk - 2 cups
- Flour - 1 tbsp
- Cornstarch - 1 tbsp
- Granulated sugar - ½ cup or less
- egg yolk - 1 large
- Vanilla extract - 1 or 2 tsp
- Nutmeg - ¼ tsp
Instructions
In a saucepan add milk, flour, cornstarch, and sugar, whisk all together. Then put on a medium heat on your stovetop to cook until it starts to thicken. Stirring continuously so it don’t burn.
This could take five minutes or so, then crack your egg in two separate bowls and you only need the yolk. Whisk about three tablespoons of the hot milk liquid into the bowl with the yolk and whisk well.
Then pour it into the milk liquid and continue stirring until it is combined well, you don’t want scrabbled eggs. This is to be done quick!!!
Remove from heat and add the vanilla and nutmeg and mix into thick liquid.
Pour the hot custard into separate serving bowls or one fancy bowl, cover the top of the custard with a piece of clear wrap. Putting the clear wrap on the custard so it’s touching the top it.
Put the custard in the fridge to continue setting and to cool down before serving.
Bonita’s Tips:
Adding the hot milk liquid to the egg yolk introduces it to the hot liquid before mixing it into the full saucepan. So it don’t turn to scrabbled eggs.
Covering the top of the custard with clear wrap helps from getting that hard crust on top and it stays soft.
Serve with jello, whipped cream and berries.
When I was a young girl my mom was the cook in our family and it was always homemade food from only a few simple ingredient’s. We would always ask our mom what’s for supper and she would answer it always the same..
This and that!!! Go wash up!!!
