Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, mix the cornflour with 100 ml of cold milk until smooth.
  2. Add the rest of the milk, the sugar and a pinch of salt to the pan.
  3. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until it just simmers, taking care it doesn't stick.
  4. Pour in the cornflour mixture and keep stirring for 3 to 4 minutes until the cream clearly thickens.
  5. Off the heat, stir in the butter and vanilla, then mix until smooth and glossy.
  6. Pour into bowls or ramekins and let cool slightly, or chill for 1 hour to serve cold.

Variations and tips

Egg yolk version. Add the beaten yolks at the end of cooking, off the heat, for a richer and more yellow cream.
