Custard Pudding
Origin: Paris, France
Source: Auguste Escoffier, 1907
Ingredients
- 1 litre milk
- 6 eggs
- 180 grammes sugar
- Vanilla
Instructions
- Make a crème renversée composition in the average proportions of 6 eggs and 180 grammes of sugar per litre of milk.
- Increase or diminish the quantity of eggs according as the Custard is wanted more or less light.
- Judge the sugar by the taste of the guests; it may be left out altogether and replaced by saccharine or glycerine, as is done for diabetics.
- Flavour it, generally with vanilla, or with any other flavouring that suits entremets.
- Cook it in the special dishes called pie-dish, in a bain-marie, in the oven, or in steam; or else set it on the fire like a crème Anglaise and serve it in special glasses.
