| ▲ | CRÈMES
ANGLAISES | - 1 quart milk -
12 yolks - 1 cup (225 gm) sugar - 20 gm all purpose flour
Natural colors & 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.
