Preparation

Step 1

Mix the 2 tbsp cornflour with a little of the milk until dissolved, add to the rest of the milk and mix.

Step 2

Place mix in a microwaveable container (uncovered or it will overflow) and microwave for 3 minutes. The mixture has to boil to thicken.

Step 3

Stir mixture to get rid of any lumps, if mixture needs any extra corn flour to thicken, add now and microwave for another minute.

​

If you need to add extra cornflour, always dissolve it in a little cold water or milk. If you add it straight to the mix it will not thicken and just go lumpy.
