A dish best suited for introducing kids to making desserts; it has very simple flavors but it requires some more complex cooking skills that will help new cooks become more proficient.
Ingredients
- 2c milk. shopping list
- 3 eggs, separated shopping list
- 1/3 c sugar shopping list
- 1/2 tsp salt shopping list
- 1/2 tsp vanilla shopping list
How to make it
- Put the milk on the stove to heat in a larger pan.
- Beat the whites of the eggs very stiff
- As soon as the milk scalds--that is, gets a little wrinkled on top--drop spoonfuls of the egg on to it to make little islands; let them stand there to cook just one minute, and then with the skimmer take them off and lay them on a plate.
- Put the milk where it will keep hot but not boil.
- Beat the yolks of the eggs stiff, mixing in the sugar.
- Pour the milk into the bowl of egg, a small amount at a time so the eggs won't cook, beating all the time.
- After the milk has been added, put the egg/milk in a double boiler and cook till it is as thick as cream.
- Remove from heat, and stir in salt and vanilla, and set it away to cool.
- Pour the custard into a serving dish and top with 'islands' of meringue.
