How do get custard to turn out right?

Making Custard

Custards need to be cooked over low heat, whether they are baked or cooked in a saucepan. High heat causes them to curdle. If your custard is cooked on the stovetop, use a double boiler. Check custard for doneness by lifting spoon and holding for 15-20 seconds - if the spoon doesn't show through, your custard is done.
