Boiled Custard Recipe?

Question

Does anyone know of a really really easy boiled custard recipe using vanilla pudding? I used to have a recipe for it but I lost it. Thanks

Answer 1

Boiled Custard:

4 cups milk
6 large egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Dash of salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Ground nutmeg

Pour milk into top of a double boiler; bring water to a boil. Heat milk until tiny bubbles begin to appear around edges of pan. Remove from heat, and set aside.

Beat egg yolks with a wire whisk until frothy. Add sugar, cornstarch, and salt, beating until thickened. Gradually stir about 1 cup hot milk into yolk mixture; add to remaining milk, stirring constantly.

Cook custard mixture in double boiler over low heat 25 minutes or until mixture is thickened and a candy thermometer registers 180°, stirring occasionally. (Do not boil.) Stir in vanilla. Serve warm or cold; sprinkle with nutmeg.

Yield: 4 cups
