Cut the vanilla pod lengthways and scoop out the seeds with end of a teaspoon. Then put the pod, the seeds and the cream into a saucepan.

Put the pan on a low heat so it is just below the simmering point.

While the cream heats, whisk the egg yolks, corn flour and sugar together.

Then remove the vanilla pod from the saucepan.

Whisk the egg mixture all the time with one hand, slowly pour the hot cream into the bowl.

Then immediately return the whole mixture to the pan. Keep it on the low heat as you continue to whisk until it becomes smooth again as it simmers.

If it looks grainy (because its been overheated) put it into a jug and whisk until smooth.

Pour the custard into a jug and cover with Clingfilm until needed

Do not overheat
