ANGLAISES | -
1 quart milk - 12 yolks - 1 cup (225 gm) sugar - 20
gm all purpose flour Natural color & flavors - mint paste - raspberry
puree - vanilla extract Bring the milk and cream to a boil a first time infusing the vanilla beans (do the same if you use
vanilla extract). Beating energetically using a wire whisk, combine yolks and sugar until it turn into lemon color. Remove the boiling liquid from the flame Pour some of the boiling liquid over the egg /sugar mixture, mix well and
add this mixture back to the remaining boiled liquid. Put the pan back on the stove over medium heat . By using
a wooden spoon, gently finish cooking the crème anglaise until thick enough to cover the back of the spoon. The
safest way remains to use a thermometer. In this case, turn off the flame when the mixture reaches 84 C Strain immediately
into a bowl over a bath of ice. TIP: by tracing a line with a finger on the cream coated spoon,
we should see this line remaining still.
