  • Crème Anglaise:

 

INGREDIENTS:

  1. 10 egg yolks
  2. 1 vanilla pod
  3. 250gr caster sugar (very fine sugar)
  4. 1 Liter whole milk

  • Divide the egg yolks from the whites, put the white aside (freeze it or use those for another recipe).
  • Keep whisking untill is has turned slightly whiter than before (or beat a few minutes in the Kenwood or Kitchenaid)
  • In a cooking pot, add the milk and the vanilla pod and bring to boiling point.
  • (big enough cooking pot, we add the egg mixture aswell later)
  • Add the boiling milk to the eggs and whisk it firmly and quit fast.
  • We don't want the eggs to set to fast, not making an omelet!
  • Pour everything back into the cooking pot and on a low cooking stand whisk the mixture gently.
  • Beat the mixture in a figure eight over medium heat. Keep a close eye on the bottom of the pan.
  • When the mixture starts to stick at the bottom and the drawing of your tapping movement is clearly visible.
  • DO NOT LET THE MIXTURE COOK AGAIN, whisk it untill it thikens.
  • Remove the vanilla pod and pour the mixture into a big bowl.
  • Set aside to cool down, best is to let is set overnight in the fridge.
  • (let it cool down first to room-temperature before setting it into the fridge)
  • Can be kept in the fridge for several days.
