Method :
Beat the eggs
in a bowl with the sugar and 3 tbsp of milk. Heat the rest of the milk
in a saucepan. Do not let it boil. Then slowly add it to the egg
mixture, stirring all the time. Pour this mixture through a sieve into
the top of a double saucepan or put the bowl over a saucepan of hot
water. Cook the sauce very slowly, stirring all the time. Do not let the
sauce boil or burn. when the custard sauce is thick, add the vanilla
essence and stir well. Serve hot or cold. If you are going to serve it
cold, put a little sugar on the top of the custard. This will stop a
skin forming on the custard.
Serves 6
Custard sauce
is served with many puddings. You can now buy custard powder for making
custard sauce but the result will not be as good as this. Real custard
sauce is not difficult to make, but be careful - do not let it boil.
