Easy Custard
(3)
12 min
I invented this recipe when I was making baked apples and I had no custard powder in the cupboard. Now I always make custard myself. Don't be surprised if the custard doesn't look as yellow as it does from a packet. The recipe yields enough for 4 baked apples.

- Mix the sugar and cornflour in a saucepan. Stir in the water with a whisk. When sugar and cornflour have dissolved, heat it slowly, stirring occasionally.
- When the sugar water begins to bubble (almost boiling) and begins to caramelise, simmer for about another minute, stirring constantly - the sugar will now become a syrup.
- Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. When all the butter has dissolved, stir in the cream.
- Serve warm.
