For enough to feed two little ones as an after dinner treat (or one hungry one) you will need:
200ml milk of your choice (dairy, coconut, almond, rice...)
2 tsps or so of rice malt syrup (or maple syrup or honey of you are not avoiding frustose like me)
1 egg yolk (ours came courtesy of 'Lavender' chook)
3tsp corn flour
and a splash of vanilla extract.
Bring the milk and vanilla to just below boiling point over a medium heat. Meanwhile, in a small jug, stir/whisk egg yolk, syrup and cornflour into a smooth paste. Carefully pour about half of the hot milk into the yolk mix and stir/whisk like crazy for a bit then tip the yolk mix back into the saucepan with the remaining milk and stir/whisk til it thickens. Eat with or without raspberries.

My children love custard! I don't make it for them often because I don't like giving them sugar... your recipe sounds delightfully easy, I must give it a try!
Will have to give this a try, sounds lovely, and less sugar than Mum's old one.
I've never bothered with the cornflour. Just eggs and cream (or milk at a pinch) :)
This sounds lovely - I am definitely going to have a go. Am trying more and more not to resort to sugar and dairy, to be more mindful of what I am actually eating. It's a time consuming business though isn't it?!
Darn you for giving me a craving! :-)
