Soft Eggs (Custard)

Ingredients

• 1 small glass cold water
• 1 small glass sugar
• egg yolks

Instructions

1. Combine one small glass of cold water with one small glass of sugar and place over heat until a syrup (almíbar) forms with sufficient body and concentration.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks. When the syrup has cooled nearly to room temperature, incorporate it into the yolks gradually while stirring constantly to ensure thorough mixing.
3. Transfer the mixture to a double boiler (baño maría) and stir occasionally. As the eggs thicken, remove from heat and beat vigorously until the mixture is very fine and light.
