011. Heat the milk in a saucepan over a low heat until just simmering then remove from the heat. 2. In a large bowl, using an electric whisk, beat the egg yolks until smooth and then beat in the sugar. Beat until thick and pale. 3. Continue to beat the egg yolk mixture while carefully and very slowly pouring the boiling milk in. Do it in a slow stream to prevent the eggs from scrambling. 4. Beat the mixture until all of the milk has been poured in and the mixture is smooth. 5. Pour the custard back into the saucepan and place it back onto a low heat. 6. Stir continuously until the custard coats the back of your spoon, taking it off the heat before it reaching simmering point. 7. Once the custard coats the back of your spoon, remove from the heat and continue to whisk for a couple more minutes to help the custard cool down. 8. Pour the custard through a sieve and briefly stir through the vanilla extract.
