Confectioner's Custard image

The is the traditional filling for Choux pastries (Cream Puffs) and any dessert which needed a filling. I can tell you that you *do* need to stir it constantly after adding the milk to the egg mixture, but patience is rewarded by a great result. Orignl. from 1920's recipe. Makes 400ml (3/4 pint)

Categories     Dessert

Time 25m

Yield 3/4 pint

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 egg yolks
1 egg white
50 g caster sugar
2 tablespoons plain flour
2 tablespoons cornflour
300 ml milk
1 teaspoon vanilla essence (more if you prefer)

Steps:

  • Cream the egg yolks and the sugar together until thick and pale in colour.
  • Beat in the flour, cornflour, and a very small amount of the milk taken from the 300 ml total, just enough to make a smooth paste.
  • Heat the remaining milk until almost boiling (I use the mirowave) and pour it into the egg mixture, sirring constantly.
  • Stir mixture over a low heat until it boils, then remove.
  • Beat egg white until stiff and fold it into the custard.
  • Return to the heat again and add vanilla essence and cook for another few minutes.
  • Use as Choux pastry (cream puff) fillings etc.

This recipe is a great starting point for custard. I like to add a little bit of vanilla extract and nutmeg to give it more flavor.
