Baked Milk Custard

Ingredients

• 2 egg yolks
• 30 g sugar
• 40 g cornstarch
• 400 ml milk
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

• In a pan (off the heat), combine the egg yolks, sugar and cornstarch, then pour in the milk and whisk until completely smooth with no lumps.
• Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a smooth, scoopable custard paste.
• Pour the custard into a lined container or small tin, smooth the top, and chill for 1 hour until set.
• Turn out and cut into bite-size cubes.
• Arrange the cubes on parchment in the air fryer basket and brush the tops with the beaten egg wash.
• Air fry at about 180°C (350°F) until the tops are golden and caramelised, roughly 8-10 minutes. Serve warm.

Crisp, caramelised outside; soft, pudding-like custard inside. Via @recipie.my. Air-fry time/temp are an estimate; watch for golden tops.
