Recipe: Real homemade custard


I haven't been able to post for a while. The Christmas rush means I haven't been able to blog as often as I would have liked. So here is a recipe to thank you all for tuning in.

My recipe of the month this month which will go out to subscribers tomorrow is a special one from my Mum. Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without her famous Sherry Trifle, (well it's famous in our house anyway), and as I'm spending Christmas in Ireland this year and she's over in Scotland I will have to make it myself. Because of this I've been playing with custard recipes and have decided that this is the one that will become part of the trifle this year.

Ingredients
6 egg yolks
2tbsp Corn Flour
1 dsp Sugar
1 pint of cream
1 tsp vanilla essence

Method
Beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla essence and corn flour together.
Bring the cream to the boil and stir into the egg and sugar mixture.
Return to the pan and bring back to the boil stirring constantly until you have a good consistency.
