This is the classic Welsh version of the white cornflour sauce traditionally used to accompany Christmas pudding. This is the recipe exactly as my mother makes it to this day.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp cornflour
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp white sugar
600ml milk
2 tbsp (or more!) brandy

Method:

Add the cornflour and sugar to a microwavable bowl and add about 6 tbsp milk. Mix until smooth then add more milk. As soon as the mixture is liquid add the remaining milk and mix in.

Place the mixture in a microwave and cook on full power for 2 minutes. Take out then add the butter and stir. Return to the microwave for 1 minute more then stir once more and return to the microwave for another minute. Continue this process until the sauce has thickened. When ready, remove from the microwave and stir-in the brandy to thin the sauce a little. Serve immediately.
