How to Make Aunt Martha S Microwave Boiled Custard

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar and 2 cups (475ml) milk. Microwave on high for 5 minutes.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour and the remaining 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar until well combined.
3. Add the flour mixture to the milk mixture and stir until smooth.
4. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir.
5. Microwave for another minute.
6. In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large egg yolks until light and frothy.
7. Gradually whisk 1 cup (240ml) of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks, tempering the eggs to prevent scrambling.
8. Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the remaining milk mixture.
9. Microwave on high, stirring every 30 seconds, until the custard reaches your desired thickness (approximately 2-4 minutes). The custard will thicken as it cools.
10. If the custard becomes too thick, whisk in a little extra milk until you achieve the desired consistency.
11. Let the custard cool completely before serving. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for best results.
