Things to know about Custard Recipe
English Homemade Custard is the original British sauce, a perfect accompaniment to pouring over winter desserts. It is a staple of British Cuisine.
It is a mixture of sweetened milk cooked with egg yolk and vanilla to create a thick pouring sauce. It is very sensitive to cook as the eggs often curdle easily if the temperature is too high. Therefore, it requires careful attention when cooking.
This dessert dates back to the 14th Century when the English adapted the French custard cream, which is commonly used in pastries. The English recipe creates a thinner variation which is used as a sweet sauce.
