Condensed milk and regular milk are standard supermarket staples. Whole cloves and cinnamon sticks can usually be found in the spice aisle of any supermarket or grocery store. Fresh eggs are widely available in the chilled section of all UK supermarkets. Ground cinnamon for dusting is also a common spice found in all supermarkets.
Preparation method
- Place the condensed milk, milk, cloves, and cinnamon stick into a saucepan
- Heat the mixture until it just comes to a boil
- Lightly whisk the eggs and egg yolks in a separate bowl
- Carefully pour the beaten eggs into the boiling milk mixture in the saucepan
- Keep the heat on low
