Ingredients

4 eggs
6 egg yolks
150 ml milk
180 g vanilla custard powder
250 g sugar
1 pinch salt
2 sachets vanilla (or vanilla beans)
70 g corn starch
15-20 prunes (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven at 350F.
In a bowl place the egg yolks, the whole eggs, the sugar, vanilla and mix very well with a mixer.
In a separate large bowl mix together the vanilla custard powder, the cornstarch with the pinch of salt. Mix until well incorporated.
Add the liquid mix over the dry ones mixing well until all incorporates well.
Add the milk and give it all a good whizz.
Butter an oven proof dish and put aside.
Put the mix into a saucepan and place over medium heat. Whisk continuously until it starts bubbling and until the custard begins to thicken. Put the heat on low and continue to mix until the custard is thick that you can see whisking trails in it. Switch off the heat.
Place the custard into the oven dish , scatter the prunes around if you choose to put any in and put in the oven.
Bake for about 1 h 20' or slightly more until it is nice and has formed a nice brown skin.
Remove from the oven and let it cool.
Once completely cooled you can place in the fridge for an hour or longer to make it ready to be served.
