Name: Simple Custard
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 15 min
Ingredients: 4 cups whole milk; 1 tablespoon vanilla extract; 1 teaspoon butter; 4 eggs; ½ cup white sugar; 3 tablespoons cornstarch

This is my own alteration of a few different recipes. Not too rich or too sweet as many egg custards can be. Can be served warm immediately or cold.

Simple Custard

milk

vanilla extract

butter

eggs

white sugar

cornstarch

Cook and stir milk, vanilla extract, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat until simmering. Remove mixture from heat before it comes to a boil.


Whisk eggs, sugar, and cornstarch together in a bowl until sugar dissolves.


Set saucepan back over low heat. Pour in egg mixture slowly, whisking constantly, until custard thickens enough to coat the bottom of a spoon, 5 to 10 minutes.


After making this custard, I read the reviews and saw a comment relating this custard to a yeast infection. After eating this custard, I would like to tell you that if you follow the directions PROPERLY, it will NOT have the consistency of a yeast infection, although I'm not even sure what that looks like. Even if you are the worst cook ever, which I classify myself as, it should not look like a yeast infection. I will definitely use this recipe again.

Hello! If your custard looks like a 'yeast infection', it is because you added too much warm milk into the eggs too soon. Because of the hotness, the eggs will cook. You need to add the warm milk gradually to avoid scrambling whilst raising the temperature. (I will rate it a 5 because I want to post some help ^^)

Absolutely delicious and so easy and quick to make!

I used 5c 2% milk instead of whole milk, 2tbs butter, I didn't have any vanilla so I didn't use any. Don't miss it. I used 4 eggs+4 yolks. 
I used almost a full cup of sugar. My boyfriend likes his sweets??
I used 4tbs of corn starch
After it was ready I added 3 smashed banana's & 5 banana's sliced into pieces. It's my first time EVER making a custard. Delicious

It looked okay however the consistency was like a yeast infection and the colour was to. It tasted like scrambled eggs. Should have read the reviews! Waste of money time and ingredients. Please try any other recipe but this.

Followed this receipe perfectly and it toward out incredible! I did add the extra sugar that was suggested and it made a quick easy family dessert...which is a must for a Family of Five! It kept a smooth consistency and set up quickly...will make again soon!

I love custard and wanted to make some with little effort. I decided to make this recipe and say that someone said it was the consistency of a yeast infection but I know what they did wrong and decided to make it anyway. I only did half the recipe and I also added nutmeg and cinnamon for more flavor. I also found out that I ran out of cornstarch so i substituted with tapioca flour. The flavor was ok but not the best and it might have been the flour but the texture was similar to slime and was a little off putting. I probably won’t make this again.
