If you have some eggs around and some milk, then this is for you. Egg custard is a classic that everyone should be able to make, very simple, tasty and quick.

Ingredients:
500ml milk
less than 1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract (try vanilla beans/pods to be flash!)
3 egg yolks
3 Tsp cornflour

Enjoy!!!!

    If anyone else is wondering, its about 2 cups milk and cornflour = corn
    starch.

    That is not an Egg Custard, It is just Custard or Creme Anglais.. (Cowboy
    style.) Probably works great. But and Egg Custar is a set custard that
    should be coked in a Bain Marie in the oven.

    Very good recipe =) Do you think the custard would get too thick if I chill
    it overnight? I intend to serve it cold with some warm apple crumble =D
