Custard Pudding



Ingredients
500ml whole milk (or skimmed if you like)
5 tbsp sugar
2 slightly heaped tbsp custard powder
pinch of cardamon
drop of vanilla
3-4 tbsp evaporated milk
nuts for garnishing

First, mix the custard powder separately in a small bowl with about 2 tbsp of milk.
Pour the remainder of the 500ml in a pan with the evaporated milk and sugar and bring it to almost boiling point then lower the heat.
Add the cardamon and vanilla followed by the custard mixture and keep stirring until the mixture thickens
(for about 2-3 minutes) then turn off the heat.
If lumps of custard occur, pass the mixture through a sieve so it smooths out.
Pour into serving bowls and let it cool to room temp, then garnish with nuts and refrigerate until cold.
It will thicken more as it cools. Serve!
