EASY MICROWAVE POURING CUSTARD

1 cup milk
1/3 cup sugar
3 egg yolks

In a microwave safe container heat the milk on medium-high (70% power) for 1 minute.

Combine the sugar and egg yolks and then whisk mixture into the warm milk.

Microwave uncovered on medium (55% power) for about 5 minutes, whisking twice during cooking, until custard thickens slightly.

When cooked, cover with some plastic wrap, laying it on the surface of the custard.
