[@Yvonne_Grammen]

If you want this tasty recipe in cups: 2 1/5 cups milk 3 egg yolks 2 Tbs cornflour 2 Tbs castor sugar 1 tsp vanilla or more to your preference. Enjoy Thank you Katie for this excellent recipe!

[@KatieHomeCook]

@@Yvonne_Grammen thank you 😊

[@pierocentofanti402]

Good recipe Katie nice and straight forward, thank you. I used semi skimmed milk but will use full fat next time to make it creamier but it turned out very well 😊

[@Jacqueline-ts1wd]

Thank you. didn't realise it was so easy.

[@RamblinRick_]

If I don't have Vanilla Paste, how much Vanilla Extract would I use?

[@KatieHomeCook]

A 1/2 a tbsp ish

I made the custard and it was lovely and creamy and so easy. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@KatieHomeCook]

So glad you liked! Homemade is the only way for custard 😊

[@lianas3593]

Great recipe. So easy to follow. Tastes amazing!!

[@KatieHomeCook]

So glad you like it!

[@MrsKendraJoy]

Eek! I looked for how to make custard because I've been watching a lot of cooking shows lately and I feel like I stumbled on a celebrity's channel because I loved you on Britain's Best Home Cook 😆 great job, thank you ♡

[@KatieHomeCook]

That’s so lovely of you to say! Let me know how the custard turns out for you 😊

[@ilithedoctorili]

you remind me of gwen cooper from torchwood with that accent, thanks for the video, helped a lot :)

[@MariaJoseRamirez-w4s]

Thank you Katie!

[@richardangers2566]

My mother would make a meringue in a fancy aluminum tin with peaks. Piece of meringue, custard, strawberries from a tin(freezer section of market, and whipped cream on top. The whites would be put to use, straight away, that way.

[@KatieHomeCook]

I love meringue!

[@shanebobey9435]

My Mum made me some crumble but I don't have anything to go with it so this is perfect! Can I use whole eggs instead? I don't really have any use for the whites and would hate to waste them. Thanks for the recipe!

[@KatieHomeCook]

No I wouldn’t recommend it, just the yolks, you could freeze the whites in a zip lock bag, until you have a use?

[@imbonkers3629]

Just fry the egg white for good source of protein 😊

[@dimples7333]

So if I wanted it thicker in consistency would you add more cornflour?

[@farhaanahvarachhia4332]

Thank you ❤

[@teafanatic8452]

you're a gem Katie, awesome custard!

[@MenaOliveira-z5u]

Perfect! Good job!👍

[@sshovelyjoe]

Thank you for the recipe, I have never made a custard from scratch. Could you please tell how long to whisk the eggs for? Does the custard have eggy flavor?

[@KatieHomeCook]

If it before the milk just until you form a paste, and no eggy taste, all custard is made with eggs

[@zaynahali8388]

My custard goes too frothy 😅 how can I prevent that? Lovely recipe x

[@brianthesnail3815]

Top tip, I always use a slotted flat metal spatula to scrape the bottom of the pan constantly to check it isn't sticking.

[@KatieHomeCook]

Hubby tells me off for using metal, I lost so many non stick pans like that, so wood or rubber for me these days

[@brianthesnail3815]

@@KatieHomeCook Ah yes, I can see how that would be an 'issue'. I have the same problem with my wife scrubbing my cast iron pans. 😮‍💨 I use a heavy bottom stainless steel risotto pan on a low heat for custard. Thin pan bottoms tend to burn custard I find.

[@bpapao]

i loved your video katiee!

[@KatieHomeCook]

@@bpapao thank you

[@jhoss1580]

nice, simple, perfect. (just would pour through a strainer before sending it back into the pot to thicken)

[@KatieHomeCook]

Sounds like it might have curdled for you, try adding the milk slower! Glad you liked it though 😊😊

[@need4speeed992]

​@@KatieHomeCookis that the only thing that will cause it to curdle?

[@KatieHomeCook]

@@need4speeed992 should be, if you add the milk too fast it cooks the eggs to fast, almost like scrambling them

[@need4speeed992]

@@KatieHomeCook thank you. I like to have a troubleshoot before I try 😂

[@shirleyburns2623]

I just made it and it reminded me of my childhood in England. I even made an apple crumble to go with it. Honestly I could eat it all by itself. Thank you for making my life better. Can’t get tins or powdered custard here in Louisiana

[@bobbysyt2070]

Can you make this custard the day before and reheat?

[@KatieHomeCook]

Yeah, but it does thicken up a lot when it cools 😊

Is there a milk substitute I could use?

hi! how can I replace corn flower?

[@KatieHomeCook]

What alternatives do you have?

[@zerinadalvie7696]

So good😊

[@KatieHomeCook]

Thanks 😀

[@FrightF]

Cornflour is not required. Use Cream, cream fats will be the thickener.

[@KatieHomeCook]

I prefer cornflour, but cream is great if it works for you ☺️

[@dscrerar1111]

Does it have to be corn flour?

[@KatieHomeCook]

Yes… it’s also called corn starch outside of the uk

[@lindaslasberg]

@@KatieHomeCook Is there a way I don't have to use corn starch?

[@KatieHomeCook]

@@lindaslasberg you could try rice flour or plain flour but I haven’t tried those myself 😊

[@mowakazeem8979]

i used Arrowroot flour, worked just as fine, came out perfect.

@@mowakazeem8979 brilliant x

Oh no! 🙈

Why are you hating

[@KologaFaikala-iz7rp]

I don't like the custard with egg yolks, I like the real one with custard powder.

Custard powder usually contains dry egg yolks, might want to check the packaging 😊

​@@KatieHomeCook for your INFORMATION I have read the whole box of the custard powder nothing says egg yolk in it.
