tip the milk into a pan and bring to the boil.
scrape the seeds from the vanilla pod into the pan and dump in the empty pod too.
separate the eggs so you have just the yolks in a clean bowl and whisk with the sugar.
pour the boiling milk onto the yolks and sugar, whisking all the time.
return it back to the pan and heat gently, continuing to stir until it thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
transfer the custard to a cold bowl through a sieve to collect the pod and any scrambled bits and to stop the cooking.
serve hot or cold with any dessert… ideal just poured over sliced fresh banana if you want to keep it simple! :D

• 1 pint of whole milk
• 1 vanilla pod
• 6 large egg yolks (or 8 small)
• 6 tsp castor sugar
