Who doesn't love custard? Especially as a Brit. This recipe is so simple, just serve up with some baked fruit - you can choose whatever takes your fancy! This pairs really well with any pud & always a hit to share with friends and family. - Naughty Nonnas
In a large bowl, slowly whisk the egg yolks & brown sugar. Once combined add the cornflour, vanilla or maple, and mix together.
In a small non-stick saucepan, mix the milk and cream then bring to a gentle boil. Remove from the heat and very slowly pour into the egg mixture, a little bit at a time, whisking as you pour. Take your time here to make sure the eggs don't scramble!
Now pour the mixture back into the saucepan. Whisk continuously over a low heat for 6–8 minutes. You will notice when it's nearly done, as the mixture starts to thicken. Do not let it boil as this will scramble the custard!
Stir in the salt, then remove from the heat, serve with your favourite baked fruit or pud - see some fun ideas below!
