Creme Anglaise

Ingredients

• milk | 50cl
• egg yolk | 4
• vanilla pod | 1
• sugar | 100g
• maizena | 1 spoon

Steps

Put the milk in a pot, add the vanilla pod to it and make it boil.

In the meantime, mix the eggs and the sugar until white and foamy.

When the milk is starting to boil, pour a bit into the egg/sugar mix and whisk.
Then transfer everything back into the pot and cook at low fire while mixing 
gently with a wooden spoon the cream is cooked when it stucks to the spoon

Notes

• the vanilla can be replaced with lemon skin to do a lemon cream
• use a pot with a thick bottom
• add the spoon of maizena to the egg sugar mix to help the cream set
• when cooking the cream, do not let it boil and keep mixing gently. One way to know if the cream has set is to stop mixing and see if the cream stops moving. If it does, it’s readyt.
