A classic dessert that will never go out of style
5 egg yolks
300ml milk

Put the egg yolks in a bowl and beat them lightly with a whisk.
Pour the sugar, the milk and the cream into a pan. Add your flavouring of choice. Gently bring the mixture up to the boil. Pour onto the egg yolks and whisk until thoroughly blended.
