Clove Kitchen's tips
To stop milk from curdling, be sure to use a full fat milk. If there is a little cream in the fridge, add a few tablespoons in or a few knobs of butter, the extra fat helps to stop milk curdling.
It's best that the milk isn't cold before it goes into the oven. If it's coming straight from the fridge, you can warm it gently in the microwave or stove top until lukewarm.
And finally don't have the oven too hot! Under 170°C is best.
