Creamy Custard Delight with a Touch of Vanilla

1.In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent it from scorching.

2.In a separate bowl, mix the custard powder, sugar, and salt together until well combined.

3.Once the milk is warm, gradually whisk in the custard powder mixture until fully dissolved and smooth.

4.Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and begins to bubble, about 5-7 minutes.

5.Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and butter until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

6.Pour the custard into individual serving dishes or a large bowl and let it cool to room temperature.

7.Once cooled, cover the custard with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set properly.

8.Serve chilled, optionally garnished with fresh fruit or a sprinkle of nutmeg.
