Classic Creme Anglaise
A timeless and elegant French custard sauce, perfect for drizzling over desserts or enjoying on its own.
Ingredients
| ⅓ | cup sugar |
|---|---|
| 1 | large egg |
| 1 | teaspoon vanilla |
| ¾ | cup 2% low-fat milk |
Instructions
| 1. | In a mixing bowl, delicately whisk together sugar, egg, and fragrant vanilla essence. |
|---|---|
| 2. | In a small saucepan, gently heat the milk over medium heat until steaming. Slowly incorporate a small amount into the egg mixture, stirring constantly to blend, then pour the mixture back into the saucepan. (This gradual process prevents the formation of scrambled eggs). |
| 3. | Stir the mixture over low heat, ensuring to constantly whisk, for 5 to 8 minutes or until it slightly thickens. Avoid boiling the sauce. |
| 4. | Transfer the luscious sauce into a clean bowl. To prevent a skin from forming, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the sauce. Refrigerate until chilled. |
