    Utensils Used
    | 1. Sift the flour and cornflour into a large heatproof bowl. | 2. Stir in the eggs and Vanilla Extract. | 3. Put to one side. | 4. On the hob, place a large pot onto medium heat. | 5. Pour in the milk, sugar and butter. | 6. Stir over the heat until the sugar and butter has completely dissolved and melted. | 7. Pour the milk mixture into the bowl slowly so you don't cook the eggs, stirring constantly. | 8. Pour the combined mixture back into the pot and return to the heat. | 9. Stir continuously until the mixture becomes thick (like the consistancy of meringue - it sort of all comes together suddenly). | 10. Remove from the heat and pour immediately into the pastry case. | 11. Smooth it out so that it is level. | 12. Dust with cinnamon. | 13. Leave to cool, and then store in the fridge until you can't stand it any longer and must have a slice! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
