Step by step recipe

Bring 500 ml whole milk to the boil, then take off the heat.
Stage 2 - 2 min.
Stage 3 - 1 min.
Pour the milk into the egg-yolk and sugar mixture while stirring. Mix well.

This should reach its ideal texture at 181°F (83°C) (use an electronic thermometer if you can) or simply follow the method for real custard sauce (crème anglaise), if you prefer.
