Time 30m

Yield About 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups/500 ml milk
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
6 egg yolks
1/2 cup/100 g sugar
1/3 cup/40 g all-purpose flour
Pinch salt
1/2 cup/125 ml heavy cream, whipped

Steps:

  • Put the milk in a saucepan. Scrape the vanilla seeds into the milk and throw in the pod. Bring just to a boil, remove from the heat, cover and set aside to infuse for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Beat the yolks and sugar to pale, thick ribbons. Gradually beat in the flour and salt. Whisk the hot milk into the egg mixture in a thin stream. Return the mixture to the saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Strain and set aside to cool with a buttered piece of waxed paper on top to prevent a skin from forming. When cool, fold in the whipped cream.
