      Water boils at 212 F at sea level but Denver elevation it is lower at 202oF. Effect coffee custard etc. I wonder if you're elevation is a little higher than this chef.

    We are a lactose intolerant household so we’ve always paid a huge premium for pre-made lactose free and dairy free custards. We’ve tried the powdered base custards but they always taste so powdery so matter how you make them.
    It was so lovely to be able to learn how to make my own custard that as a bonus, also wouldn’t have my household spend the day in pain.
    Thank you so much!

    Hi from England
    I love all types of custard.
    I love cooking - it has been my therapy through covid lockdown in England. My maternal grandmother was born in Ireland and came to United Kingdom in 1901 and was a great cook as my late mother learned to cook and so have i learnt to cook
    My custard i make is Mascarpone Custard. I use this when making my trifle. Trifles are a traditional English thing at Christmas

    This is just what I needed! My great grandmother, born in 1905, used to make custard over toast as a special treat when I was a child. I have been wanting to make it, but every time I googled custard over toast, a yogurt custard would pop up. Her custard was exactly like your second custard. Thanks so much!

    Thanks, this type of video is very useful. It enables the viewer the ability to create instead of just to consume recipes and imitate. I really feel like I understand now the basics of custard. I tried the first baked custard and it turned out pretty well. I just now know the ratios and can do whatever I need with it, just super good. Thanks a lot.

    Great coverage. I am a fan of a well prepared custard. Nothing earns my scorn as much as a badly made or synthetic custard. I even balk at adding cornstarch or some type of thickening but I know for pastry work it is sometimes necessary.

  • @lavague7648
    @lavague7648 Месяц назад

    Excellent video. In Greece we have a traditional sweet bread called tsoureki. Tsoureki consists of enriched dough. The most succesfull recipes suggest to create the custard (without making explicit refference to custard) first and then incorporate it to the dough. By doing this you actually bind the sugar that due to its high concetration kill the yeast in tsoureki dough leading to a frisby like bread 😂. So, custard is the most effective shortcut to deal with enriched doughs. Just genious and beatifull simultaneously. Thanks a lot.

    Thank you Chef! I LOVE custard . Most of my favorite desserts are custard based. Even the wonderfully yummy pecan pie, pumpkin pie and the all time favorite Boston Cream pie. You can't have an awesome dessert without all that European influence.
    Oh and my very first Flan was perfect but now they all get watery , including my bread puddings. How sad, But not my eclairs. They are divine. Would be very sad if that turned out watery. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    • @justincronkright5025
      @justincronkright5025 2 года назад

      I think milk is already a reasonable bit acidic. Adding it to the one with the egg-whites still in doesn't sound right, but adding it to the other two shouldn't be a problem I'd think. Adding too much though I believe makes ones of the 3rd kind a bit dense as it keeps perhaps the flour particles 'collapsed' in the mixture more.
      But obviously take a dedicated baker/pastry chef's methods and opinions on all of this instead.

    @RamblinRick_ 4 месяца назад +1

    When substituting cream for whole milk or vice versa, what is the ratio of cream-to-milk? Is it 1-to-1? Or, some other ratio. You used vanilla beans, when using pure vanilla extract, what is the ration of milk/cream to extract?
    I'm American, so I assume by "cream" you are referring to "heavy cream", that we use to make whipped cream. Is this correct?
    sidebar: if you don't use the egg whites immediately, you can freeze them. Thaw later to room temp and use
