Southern-Style Soft Custard
|
 |
3 egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 pint milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sliced pound cake
Fresh berries of choice
Beat together eggs, sugar and salt. Scald milk (heat to 180°) and pour slowly
over egg mixture. Return mixture to top of double boiler and cook over simmering
(not boiling) water; stir constantly until mixture coats back of spoon-about 7-10
minutes. (You should be able to run your finger down the center of the spoon and
have the pattern stay intact.) Mixture will not have the consistency of a firm
baked custard. Cool over ice water, stirring occasionally. Add vanilla. If
mixture separates, beat with egg beater until smooth. Serve chilled over slice
pound cake; top with berries.
Yield: 8 servings.
