Ingredients

1 1/2 cups whole milk

2 teaspoons cornstarch

2 tablespoons sugar

2 eggs

Dash of almond extract

Method

Combine the milk, cornstarch, sugar, and eggs in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk continuously while the mixture heats up, until the eggs are completely incorporated.

Stir occasionally for 6 to 8 minutes, until the custard is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon; it should be around i6o°F.

Remove from the heat and stir in the almond flavoring extract, then strain into a clean small pitcher. Cover with plastic and refrigerate to cool for about an hour.
