Instructions
-
Scald the Milk: Begin by scalding 1 cup of milk in a double boiler. This process involves heating the milk until it is just below boiling point, creating a slight film on the surface.
-
Prepare Cornstarch Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the cornstarch and sugar, ensuring they are thoroughly blended together. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of milk to this mixture, stirring until it forms a smooth consistency.
-
Incorporate into Hot Milk: Gently pour the cornstarch and sugar mixture into the scalded milk, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Keep stirring until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly thickened.
-
Add Egg Yolks: Gradually add the egg yolks to the mixture, ensuring they are incorporated evenly. Continue to stir the custard mixture over low heat until it thickens to the desired consistency. Be patient during this process, as it may take a few minutes for the custard to thicken properly.
-
Infuse with Vanilla: Once the custard has thickened, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. Then, add the vanilla extract, stirring gently to infuse the custard with its delightful aroma.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the custard to cool completely before using it as a filling for your favorite desserts or enjoy it on its own as a delicious treat!
