Heat the milk with the vanilla pod till just boiling.
Mix together the egg yolks, sugar & cornflour till you get a smooth paste then gradually pour over the vanilla infused milk, stirring well.
Strain the mixture back into a clean saucepan & cook gently, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens.
I'm trying this today, but will use low fat milk and, sorry to say, I'll need to use liquid vanilla as I don't have a pod. I'll update later
Really simple but tasty! I'm not good with eggs but even I managed this and family was v impressed
