Easy Custard

Ingredients:

2 cups milk

1/3 cup sugar

2 large eggs

2 tbsp cornstarch

vanilla (to taste)

Directions:

Whisk together the eggs, set aside. Mix milk, sugar, and cornstarch in saucepan, whisking together. Allow milk to scald, whisking gently to prevent burning. Remove milk mixture from heat and add 2 tbsp of it to the egg mixture. Slowly add the egg mixture to the milk mixture while whisking. Return to heat, stirring lightly until mixture begins to thicken. Do not bring to a boil. Once thickening occurs, remove from heat, mix in vanilla and allow to cool thoroughly (transfer to another bowl for cooling--I cool mine in the fridge)

et voila!
