Leftovers Anglaise
Custard (from The Joy of Cooking, slightly altered)
Scald 2 cups of milk in the top of a double-boiler. Sift together 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 2 rounded tablespoons of corn starch. Stir 3 egg yolks into the dry ingredients and add this thick paste to the milk. Continue cooking over the boiling water, stirring constantly (I can’t manage anything constantly, but if you hang around the kitchen and give it a good stir in between other chores, you should be all right), until it begins to thicken. As it cools, beat to release the steam and add 1 teaspoon (more or less) of vanilla, rum or sherry. Store this in the fridge until you’re ready to pour it over the trifle.
