Justin Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) Just making some creme anglaise for creme brulee. recipe Preheat water bath to 80 degs c 6 4 oz (125ml) glass canning jars with lids Fine mesh sieve Propane or butane torch 1 Cup (250ml) whole milk 2/3 cup (150 ml) whipping or thick (35%) cream 2 egg yolks 1 whole egg 2 tbsp granulated sugar 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (depending on your personal taste for vanilla) 1/4 cup granulated sugar divided In a small saucepan combine milk and cream. Bring to simmer, stirring over medium heat. Remove from heat. In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks, egg, 2 tbsp sugar and vanilla extract. Very gradually whisk in milk. Strain through fine mesh into a measuring cup Pour equal amounts into jars leaving clearance of 1 cm at top. Wipe jar rims clean to ensure good seal. Tighten snug with finger tips (to allow air to escape as it expands in the heat, if too tight glass may explode. Immerse level in the water bath and cook for 50 minutes. Remove jars from water bath and let cool for 20 to 30 minutes, Refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 3 days SCALE UP You can double or triple this recipe with more jars Ideally use new jars that have not been previously heat stressed. I do not but when they break I will get new one. Bring the along desert to a dinner party along with your torch and be a dessert hero. TO MAKE AHEAD: Uncooked custard , prepare through step 2, transfer to a airtight container, cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days , proceed with step 3 Cooked custard, Prepare through step 4, Refrigerate for up to 3 days, Proceed with step 5. This what I do, Make on a Friday and then it is good for the weekend desserts. Edited August 31, 2018 by Justin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
