Basic Custard

Serves 4

1 point per serve

300ml skim milk
2 eggs, beaten
1 tbsp sweetener

Place all but 2 tbsp of the milk in a pan and heat gently.

Beat the eggs and sweetener together and then stir in the reserved milk.

Pour the warm milk over the egg mixture and mix well. Strain the mixture back in to the pan to remove any egg strands.

Heat very gently, stirring continuously for 2-3 minutes.

Add 1 tsp of vanilla extract after straining or 1 tsp ground ginger for no additional points.
