CUSTARD (AKA CREME ANGLAISE)
A beautiful, classic pouring custard recipe, made the proper way with just egg as a thickener - no cornflour. Also known as Creme Anglaise. This recipe makes 1 1/3 cups of Custard which is enough for 4 - 5 servings. It's quite rich so a little goes a long way! Recipe video below. Picture with the ever popular Easy Moist Apple Cake.

Steps:
- Using a small knife, cut a slit down the length of the vanilla bean then scrape out seeds (see video).
- Place cream, milk and vanilla seeds + vanilla bean into a small saucepan over medium heat. When it just comes to simmer, remove and cool for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place yolks and sugar in a bowl. Whisk for 2 minutes until it becomes a bit pale.
- Remove vanilla pod from milk and discard.
- While whisking, SLOWLY pour milk into the eggs. Then pour it back into the saucepan.
- Return to low heat (can use medium low if on electric). Whisk regularly for first 3 minutes, then pretty much constantly for the next 5 minutes, or until the custard coats the back of a spoon. You should be able to draw a path (see video).
- Remove from heat.
- Optional: strain to make extra silky smooth.
- Keeps for 3 days in the fridge. Custard will thicken slightly more as it cools to room temperature. Do not freeze. See note 3 for suggested uses.

(Can be made 1 day ahead.)
CREME ANGLAISE (VANILLA CUSTARD SAUCE)
Steps:
- In a 2-quart heavy saucepan bring 2 cups of the milk, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, and the scraped vanilla bean to a boil over medium heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar. Slowly pour 1 cup of the hot milk mixture, whisking constantly, into the egg yolk-sugar mixture. (Do not pour the entire yolk-sugar mixture into the boiling milk mixture, as it will curdle the eggs.) Whisk in the remaining milk. Pour the milk-yolk mixture into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. Do not boil.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the rum. Strain the mixture through a fine wire sieve into a heat--proof bowl. Place the sauce in an ice bath. When cool, transfer the sauce to a bowl. Cover the surface with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator, until ready to use. Sauce will keep in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days if well sealed.
CREME ANGLAISE ( VANILLA CUSTARD SAUCE)
A rich silky vanilla custard sauce to serve with poached fruits, cakes and puddings, creme anglaise is very easy to make. But remember, once the egg yolks are added, the sauce must never come to a boil or the eggs will curdle. It is useful to have on hand a large bowl filled with ice cubes into which you can plunge the saucepan and stop the cooking immediately.

Steps:
- Pour the milk and cream into to medium-sized saucepan.
- If using vanilla bean, scrape the seeds into the pan and then add the bean itself.
- Heat the milk until bubbles appear around the edge.
- Remove the pan from the heat and set aside for 15 minutes to let the milk absorb the vanilla.
- Remove and discard the bean.
- Beat the egg yolks with the sugar and vanilla extract, if using, until light and foamy, about 3 minutes.
- Starting with a few tablespoons, very gradually stir in the hot milk.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the custard starts to thicken slightly.
- Be very careful not to let the custard come to a boil or it will curdle.
- Allow the custard to cool completely and refrigerate.
- Variation: Flavor your custard with the grated zest of 1/2 lemon or orange instead of the vanilla.
- Or add a TBS or so of Grand Marnier, kirsch, or Kahlua to the finish custard.
REAL ENGLISH CUSTARD FROM SCRATCH
Okay so I grew up with real custard (no powder). This is my Mum's recipe and I make it for my kids. Serve warm, never hot. To make it interesting add some rum essence for Christmas.

Steps:
- In a bowl beat the yolks and cornflour by hand with a whisk until well combined.
- Heat the milk and the vanilla in a heavy based saucepan.
- Add the yolk mixture and the sugar.
- Stir constantly (in a figure 8 to get all the sides) over a medium-low heat for about 10 minutes OR until it is thick and coats the back of the spoon. Never let it boil as the bottom of the pan will burn and all you will taste is burnt custard.
- Rest for 10 minutes and serve warm.
A VERY PROPER ENGLISH CUSTARD
A thick, rich, sweet mixture, custard can be served many ways. As a hot sauce poured over pud, a layer in Trifles, or, as it sets when cool, a tart filling.

Steps:
- Bring milk and cream to a simmer slowly on low heat.
- Whisk the sugar and cornstarch together, add the egg yolks, combine well.
- Slowly whisk the warm milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Add vanilla. Return to the saucepan and stir gently until thickened. Serve hot, or cool to use as a layer in trifles, or fill tart pans.
- Tip. If using it hot, it can be kept warm in a jug set in a pan of hot water with a bit of cling film on top to prevent a skin forming.
TRADITIONAL ENGLISH CUSTARD (CREME ANGLAIS)
This recipe is really simple and makes fantastic creamy custard to go with your favourite dessert. If put in an ice cream maker, this also becomes lovely vanilla ice cream. Alternatively, refrigerate then sprinkle on caster sugar and blast with a blow torch just before serving to make a crisp-topped creme brulee. When choosing a vanilla pod, make sure you choose the plumpest ones available. It should be pliable, not brittle.

Steps:
- Put the cream and the sugar in a pan.
- Slice the vanilla pod lengthways with a very sharp knife. Scrape out the seeds (they are dust-like black specks) and put these in the pan. Roughly chop the seed pod into inch-long chunks and put in the pan, too.
- Bring to the boil, then simmer for five minutes.
- Meanwhile, put the egg yolks in a bowl and whisk slightly to break up.
- When the cream is ready, bring back to the boil briefly then quickly pour over the eggs, whisking as you do it. It is very important to keep whisking at this stage, otherwise the eggs will cook before mixing with the cream. Continue to whisk until the mixture starts to thicken, indicating that the eggs are cooked.
- If this should not happen (sometimes it doesn't if my kitchen is too cold), then place back on the heat and cook very gently, stirring all the time, until it thickens.
- Strain through a fine sieve to remove the bits of vanilla pod (you will still see the flecks of vanilla seeds in the mixture) and serve.
