It’s worth making real egg custard as it tastes so much better than the packet variety, and it provides lots of nutrition for growing children.

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 25 g/1 oz/2 tablespoons

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 160°C/325°F/Gas mark 3. Lightly butter a baking dish. Beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla together in a bowl. Heat the milk to just below boiling point, add to the eggs and mix thoroughly. Place the baking dish in a bain marie, pour the custard into it and
