Vanilla Egg Custard

7 ingredients
2 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon unbleached flour or 1 tablespoon pastry flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 egg yolks, beaten
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup

Directions

  1. 1
    Dissolve flour and cornstarch in 1/4 cup of milk to prevent lumps.
  2. 2
    Pour into the top of a double boiler over simmering water OR a saucepan over a low flame. Whisk in the rest of the ingredients (one at a time) except for 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning the bottom. Then whisk for an additional 1-2 minutes off the stove before adding the remaining vanilla. Chill for 3 hours.
