Custard Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup milk

3 egg yolks

2 tbsp sugar

1 tsp cornstarch

1 tsp vanilla

Directions

In a small pan heat the milk until bubbles form around the edge of the pan.  In a second small bowl, beat the egg yolks, sugar and cornstarch until smooth.  Add the warmed milk slowly to the egg mixture stirring constantly so you do not cook the eggs. Continue stirring until it is smooth. Return the mixture to the pan and cook over medium heat; stirring constantly, until the mixture just comes to a boil. Cool the sauce slightly before stirring in the vanilla.
