ingredients
- 1 1⁄4 cups whole milk
- 1 vanilla bean
- 4 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons caster sugar
directions
- Reserve 3 tablespoons of the milk. Place the remaining milk and vanilla pod in a saucepan. Bring almost to the boil. Remove from the heat and leave to stand for 15 minutes to allow the vanilla to infuse the milk.
- Place the egg yolks, sugar and reserved milk in a bowl. Beat until thick and creamy. Remove the vanilla pod from the milk and pour the milk on to the egg mixture. Strain the mixture into a heavy based saucepan and cook, stirring, until the custard thinly coats the back of a spoon and is about the thickness of single cream. Pour into a cold jug. Serve hot or cold. The sauce thickens on cooling.

I love trying new recipes and once a month cooking (though I don't do it as often as I'd like). I am absolutely getting hooked on the tag games!
Thank you to everyone who has tried my recipes, I hope you're liking them as much as my family does!
My favorite magnet is one I got from my MIL that has a bunny hopping around saying I'm to busy to be organized. Story of my life. I have three great kids who are growing up way too fast, I'm not ready for empty nest syndrome. I married a wonderful man in 2009 who took me to Alaska on our honeymoon, It was one of the top two places I've always wanted to visit (not one he really had a desire to go to). Next year he's taking me to the other one he and I both want - Australia. Guess I like places that start with A's.
