• 1 dessertspoon pure vanilla extract

👩‍🍳 How To Make Delia Smith Custard

1. Heat the cream in a pan until it is almost boiling, stirring regularly with a wooden spoon.
2. While the cream is heating, combine the egg yolks, sugar, cornflour mixture, and vanilla in a medium bowl using a balloon whisk and a cloth to prevent the bowl from moving about.
3. Pour the hot cream in slowly while constantly whisking the egg mixture with the other hand. Once everything is added, transfer it all back to the pot using a rubber spatula at once.
4. Once it reaches a simmer, return it to the same low heat and continue whisking until the custard is thick and smooth.
5. Just pour it into a jug or bowl and keep whisking it until it becomes smooth again if you accidentally overheat it.
6. Spread cling film over the surface of the custard and set it aside to cool.
7. Take off the clingfilm and place the bowl over a pan of barely simmering water to serve warm later.
8. You can also freeze it successfully.
