Old-fashioned Stovetop Vanilla Custard

 

Ingredients:
     4 eggs
     2 cups milk
     ⅓ cup sugar (you can use a little less)
     1 teaspoon vanilla
     A pinch of salt
     Nutmeg or cinnamon 

Directions
     Whisk eggs, sugar, and salt together in a medium saucepan.
     Gradually whisk in the milk.
     Cook over LOW to medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or whisk.
     Continue until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. It should reach 160°F for egg safety.
     Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
     Pour into little bowls or cups.
     Sprinkle with nutmeg.
     Refrigerate until cold.
Important: Don't let it boil! High heat can scramble the eggs.
        Makes approximately 4 servings.

For Chocolate Custard:
         Whisk in 2 tablespoons cocoa powder and a little extra sweetener.
For Banana Custard:
          Slice half a banana into the finished custard.
For Berry custard
