| whole milk | 350 ml |

Method
Firstly in a pan over a medium heat, heat up your milk until it is just about to boil then set aside. In a heatproof bowl, add the eggs yolks, golden caster sugar, cornflour and vanilla paste & other flavorings and stir until it is a thick mixture. Progressively add 75ml of the hot milk at a time to thin out the consistency. Once all the hot milk is added and combined, pour the mixture into a pan and whisk over a low heat until you get a nice, thick custard. When your custard is ready, pour it into a bowl, cover with cling film and leave to cool in the fridge.
