2. Bring to a Boil:

   • Heat the milk mixture over medium heat until it comes to a gentle boil.

3. Prepare Egg Mixture:

   • In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 eggs, 2 1/4 cups of sugar, 1 1/4 tablespoons of cornstarch, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

4. Temper Eggs:

   • Slowly pour 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

5. Incorporate Egg Mixture:

   • Gradually whisk the tempered egg mixture back into the remaining hot milk mixture in the saucepan.

6. Cook Custard:

   • Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes, or until it thickens to a custard-like consistency.

8. Cool and Serve:

   • Allow the custard to cool before serving. It can be enjoyed as a pudding or used as a filling for pies.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve the Old English Cream Pie chilled or at room temperature, topped with whipped cream, fresh berries, or your favorite toppings for an extra touch of indulgence.
• Pair with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful dessert experience.
• Experiment with different flavor variations by adding chocolate shavings, toasted coconut, sliced bananas, or other favorite ingredients to customize your Old English Cream Pie to your liking.

Tips:

• For a richer flavor, use whole milk or a combination of whole milk and heavy cream in place of regular milk.
• Be sure to temper the eggs slowly to avoid curdling.
• To prevent a skin from forming on the custard, place plastic wrap directly on the surface while it cools.
• Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, tightly covered, for best freshness.
