My preferred method also.

But the home made version is (in brief):

1. Separate 4 eggs, putting the yolks into a large bowl.
2. Add 30g caster sugar and whisk until combined.
3. Add the 30g plain flour and ½ tsp vanilla extract and whisk until combined.
4. Gently heat 300ml full fat milk until warmed but not boiling. Stir regularly to ensure that it does not burn.
5. Once the milk is warm, remove from the heat and gradually add to the large bowl a bit at a time. Whisking each addition in completely before adding more.
6. Once combined, put the mixture into the pan and return to a very gentle heat.
7. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until the custard has reached your desired thickness – this usually takes about 10 minutes but will depend on how runny you want your custard to be. You must whisk the custard constantly to avoid it going lumpy.
8. Remove from the heat and continue to whisk for another minute.

I think your: "1. Pour Water" recipe is better.
