Method
Prep:5min  ›  Cook:10min  ›  Ready in:15min 

1. Heat the milk on the stove in a saucepan, until it is almost boiling.
2. Whilst the milk is warming, whisk up the 2 eggs with the cornflour and sugar until it is lump free (literally takes about 30 seconds).
3. When the milk is almost boiling, add it to the bowl of egg mixture and stir.
4. Pour it all back into the saucepan and onto the hob, heat gently for a couple of minutes whilst stirring all the time, until it thickens (depending on how thick you like your custard).
5. Once it is the desired consistency, just add the vanilla extract and stir in - absolutely yummy!

Tip

To alter the consistency, or depending on how runny you like your custard, just add more milk whilst heating at the end. Stores brilliantly in the fridge, and then it can just be heated in the microwave, using a little extra milk to thin it slightly. It never fails, always turns out completely yummy.
