Caramel Custard
- 50 grams A) White caster sugar
- 1 tbsp Water
- 50 grams Low fat milk
- 30 grams B) White sauce
- 1 (If you plan to use it to fill breads or need a stiff cream)
- 1 Egg yolk
- 30 grams or more White caster sugar
- 200 grams Low fat milk
- 1 dash Salt
- 1 few drops Vanilla oil
- Microwave the milk for about a minute.
- The yellow thing in the photo is 30 g of "Urufuwan's" frozen roux (refer to Steps 8 or 9 on how to make the white sauce).
- Put the (A) water and sugar in a sauce pan and heat over low to moderate heat until the sugar has completely melted.
- When the colour starts to change to light brown, shake the pan and continue to heat until nicely browned.
- After it has browned, turn off the heat and shake the pan until is browned to your liking (in residual heat).
- Add the (A) milk little at a time and continue to whisk (if the milk is too cold or you add the milk in one go, the sugar might crystallized, so add the milk little by little).
- Add the (B) white sauce roux to Step 4 and dissolve well.
- Add the egg yolks and sugar and stir well.
- If the sauce cools, return to heat.
- Add (B) to Step 5 little by little and stir well.
- After it has thickened, it is ready.
- Add a little salt to sharpen the flavour at the end.
- Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste.
- Use vanilla oil, rum or brandy to give it flavour.
- The one in the right is made following this recipe.
- The left one is made with muscovado sugar and powdered milk.
- It tastes richer.
- If you add coffee, you could enjoy a caramel mocha flavour.
- If you want to make plain custard, change the Step 4 sauce to 50 g of milk and follow the same procedure of Steps 5-6.
- Add vanilla oil.
- "Urufuwan's" white sauce roux Put the roux into a thick plastic bag and roll with a rolling pin over the bag.
- Make lines by pressing down a long chopstick and freeze.
- I used 2 portions this time.
- Instant white sauce roux Put 15 g each of plain flour and batter in a plastic bag and mix over the bag by rubbing with your hands.
- Freeze until it is needed.
- If you want to make stiffer cream, change the amount to 20 to 25 g each.
- If the cream is too runny, you could add more white sauce roux later.
- If you mix for too long, the sauce might get too sticky, so mix quickly.
- when I was testing how much white sauce roux is needed to make the cream thick, I mixed the cream too long and made the sauce too sticky.
- I added more milk, eggs and sugar to make caramel custard instead.
- I was worried, but it tasted OK.
- I made the caramel cream for making cream buns but I mixed the caramel cream in the spongecake batter instead.
- These are swiss roll made with it.
- I used a small cake tin so they are mini Swiss rolls.
