[Music] Custard utilizes ingredients that we tend to have a lot of, so I want to teach you how to make custard. All you need is milk, eggs, and honey, and then you can add some flour or corn starch and some vanilla. Okay, all right, let's just use up all this milk, huh? I don't want it to go bad. I'm just going to go ahead.

[Music] And all right, so while the milk's heating up, I'm going to separate these eggs from the whites. This is a simple way to do this: pour it back and forth until the white is completely separated from the yolk. Now I have a whole bunch of egg yolk, and I'm just going to start beating these egg yolks. I'm going to beat these egg yolks until they're really well combined, and then I'm going to pour in some honey, just about what seems to be enough.

And I'm going to beat these together until they're super well beaten up. Um, um, all right, so our milk boiled. Now what I'm going to do is actually add that to these egg yolks. I'm going to slowly pour the milk into the egg yolks.

All right, so this is nice and hot. Um, now I'm going to pour in just a little bit of vanilla. I'm going to add a little bit of corn starch. I'm going to put this back on the heat just to warm it up. And then, once your pot of milk and eggs and custard mixture starts to thicken a bit, that means that it's done.

Um, so I'm going to go ahead and pull it off the heat because it's ready. So you can eat it hot, or you can get it super cold and eat a cold custard. However you like to eat it is, you know, totally fine. Everyone, we kind of tend to eat the custard hot because we're too impatient to wait for it to cool down. Um, but you can cool it down if you want and then eat it.
