Come On Up To The House

Simple Custard

Ingredients
1 cup cream
1 cup half & half
1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp butter
2 large eggs
1/4 cup white sugar
1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch

Gather all of the ingredients. Place milk, vanilla, and butter in a saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until simmering, remove from heat before it comes to a boil.

Whisk the eggs, sugar and cornstarch together in a bowl until sugar dissolves.

Pour a bit of the milk mixture into the eggs to stabilize, whisking the whole time. Then pour it all into the milk mixture in the sauce pan and whisk until it is thickened. I put it back on medium heat for another 5 – 10 minutes.

Serve warm or transfer to custard dishes and cover. Refrigerate. Enjoy with fruit.
