Directions
Basic Vanilla Custard,My mother’s recipe–eat on its own or pour over canned peaches or guavas or, my fave, bread pudding. If you are really grossed out by the possibility of flecks of egg white in your custard, you can either pass it through a fine-mesh sieve or substitute four yolks for the two whole eggs.,Thanks, lost my recipe. As for the question about short cooking time and salmonella, 3.5 mins at 140 is sufficient. Bringing this mixture to the point where it’s not yet boiling (likely a little >165) for 3 minutes total seems to satisfy the safety requirement. The internet is a wonderful thing. gonna try this
