Answer 2

STIRRED CUSTARD: Stirred custard, also known as soft custard, custard sauce or, erroneously, boiled custard, is cooked on top of the stove and stirred to a creamy, but pourable, consistency. It includes custards made with or without starch, such as flour or cornstarch. The ingredients include whole eggs as well as egg yolks used to add body and richness.

When refrigerating a just cooked or baked custard, let it cool about 5 - 10 minutes and then cover it with plastic wrap. Make sure it touches the surface of the custard to prevent the milk proteins from forming a thin crust on top when refrigerated. Pierce a piece of plastic wrap large enough to cover the custard in about a dozen places with the tip of a sharp knife or a toothpick; place pierced plastic wrap directly onto surface and refrigerate to set

Answer 3

yes, just keep stirring it whilst slow heating

good luck
