You will need:
300ml Milk (Whole or Semi Skimmed)
4 Egg Yolks
60g Caster Sugar
25g Plain Flour
1tsp Vanilla Essence
Method:
To the 4 egg yolks add the caster sugar and whisk until pale and thick.
Sieve in the flour and whisk well.
Then to a saucepan over a low heat, add the milk and vanilla essence and mix. Bring to a boil then slowly add the milk mixture to the egg mixture whisking well after each addition.
Then return the mixture to the saucepan and whisk over a low heat until it comes to a boil and thickens. (If you find the eggs start to scramble as the heat is too high, remove from the heat and push through a sieve to remove any large lumps. Then return over a lower heat and continue to cook until thickened).
Once thickened, remove from the heat and put into a bowl covering with clingfilm to stop a film from forming. Pop in the fridge until ready to use.
