30g/1oz butter
30g/1oz cornflour
100g/3½oz caster sugar
150ml/¼ pint milk
3 tbsp cocoa powder
2 free-range egg yolks
Method
1. Place the noodles into a large heatproof bowl and pour over enough boiling water to cover. Leave for 4-5 minutes, or until softened, then drain and place into a serving bowl.
2. Meanwhile, heat the butter in a saucepan and add the cornflour. Cook, stirring continuously, for 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the sugar and pour in the milk gradually, stirring continuously to avoid any lumps forming. Bring the sauce to the boil and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
4. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cocoa powder and egg yolks until the sauce thickens.
