Ingredients
Scale
- 300 ml milk → 1 ¼ cups
- 4 egg yolks
- 90 g sugar → ½ cup
- 1 vanilla bean
Instructions
- Whisk the egg yolks and sugar until you get a smooth, pale, and slightly foamy mixture.
- Split the vanilla bean in half and gently infuse it with the milk over low heat.
- Slowly pour the hot milk over the egg-sugar mixture while whisking vigorously.
- This step tempers the eggs and prevents them from cooking too quickly.
- Transfer the mixture back into the saucepan.
- Return to low heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon; the temperature must not exceed 100 °C.
- When the custard coats the back of a spoon, it’s ready.
- Pour into a bowl and let it cool.
