Gluten Free English Custard

2 cups Whole Milk (scalded)

2/3 cup White Sugar

4 TBSP Corn Starch (Heaping)

½ tsp. sea salt

3 Egg Yolks (lightly beaten)

2 TBSP Butter

In medium sauce pan, heat milk slowly to scalding (about 180ºF) stirring occasionally. Do Not Boil

Have egg yolks in a separate bowl and set aside.

In small mixing bowl; add sugar, corn starch and sea salt, blend thoroughly. Slowly add to scalded milk. Stirring constantly. Bring to a soft boil for 3 minutes. Remove a 1/3 cup mixture and add to egg yolks. Whisk together and then add back to to the remainder of mixture. Mix well. Cook an additional 1 minute. Take off heat and add butter and vanilla.
