Cómo preparar Grandmother's Boiled Custard
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, sugar, and salt until the sugar is dissolved.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and cornstarch until well combined.
- Slowly temper the egg mixture by gradually whisking in about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture. This prevents the eggs from scrambling.
- Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 8-10 minutes). Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any lumps.
- Pour the custard into individual serving dishes or ramekins.
- Cover the surface of the custard with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the custard to chill and set completely.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
