SIMPLE CUSTARD
This is my own alteration of a few different recipes. Not too rich or too sweet as many egg custards can be. Can be served warm immediately or cold.

CONFECTIONER'S CUSTARD
The is the traditional filling for Choux pastries (Cream Puffs) and any dessert which needed a filling. I can tell you that you *do* need to stir it constantly after adding the milk to the egg mixture, but patience is rewarded by a great result. Orignl. from 1920's recipe. Makes 400ml (3/4 pint)

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar just until pale yellow and creamy, then whisk in cornstarch and flour. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, heat milk, vanilla pod, and vanilla seeds on medium heat just to a boil. Remove from heat and remove vanilla bean. Gradually pour the hot milk into the egg mixture while simultaneously whisking constantly until smooth.
- Transfer mixture back into saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly and vigorously so that the eggs won't curdle, until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and transfer to a medium heatproof bowl. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent it from creating a 'skin'. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.
- Creme patissiere can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 3 days. It does not freeze well. Whisk before using to get rid of any lumps.
