Baileys Custard

Pour the milk, Baileys and cream into a medium-size saucepan with the vanilla. Gently bring to the boil.

Whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, cornflour and flour in a large jug, then gradually pour over the hot milk mixture, whisking constantly.

Next, pour the custard through a sieve into a clean pan, and cook over a gentle heat for 6-7 minutes (do not let it boil or it will curdle)until the custard thickens – it shouldcoat the back of a wooden spoon.

Serve the custard with your favourite pudding or, if preparing in advance, pour the custard into a bowl and cover with baking paper

and leave to cool.
