Experience the pure bliss of my velvety smooth vanilla custard recipe. With its lusciously sweet aroma, it adds a heavenly touch to a makgeolli shake, pairs perfectly with fresh fruits, or can simply be enjoyed on its own.
Combine egg yolks and white sugar in a large bowl, whisking them together until they blend seamlessly. Then, whisk in the flour until the mixture achieves a smooth consistency.
Place the milk and butter in a saucepan. Warm them over low heat, stirring frequently to ensure even heating. Keep the mixture on the heat until the butter is fully melted into the milk, which should take around 5 minutes.
Gradually pour the warm milk and butter mixture into the bowl containing the egg mixture from step 1. Continuously whisk the ingredients while adding the milk to ensure a smooth combination.
Strain the combined mixture through a fine-mesh strainer, returning it to the saucepan. This step will help eliminate any lumps, ensuring a silky custard. Stir in the vanilla extract, then return the saucepan to medium-low heat.
Continue stirring until the custard thickens to your preference. This process usually takes around 8-10 minutes. Once achieved, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the custard to cool down for about 5 minutes. Refrigerate the custard for at least 2 hours to cool down and let it set properly.
Your delicious homemade custard is now ready to enjoy. Use it in your shakes, such as a Makgeolli Shake, serve it with fresh fruit, or simply enjoy it on its own.
