Smooth Custard Pudding
- 320 grams Milk
- 80 grams Heavy cream
- 80 grams Sugar
- 2 Whole egg
- 1 Egg yolk
- 5 cm Vanilla beans (optional)
- 30 grams Sugar
- 2 tsp Water
- First make the caramel.
- Add the sugar for the caramel sauce and 1 teaspoon water into a pan.
- Apply heat and when the mixture turns the same color as in the photo, add 1 more teaspoon water.
- While still hot, pour the caramel into the bottom of the jars.
- You don't need to pour it in neatly.
- Add the whole egg and egg yolk into a bowl and beat with a whisk until a light foam begins to form.
- In a pan, add the milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla beans and heat up.
- Once the sugar has completely dissolved, it's time to go onto the next step.
- Add the contents of the pan from step 4 to the egg mixture from step 3 a little at a time and continue to mix.
- When mixed strain through a strainer once.
- Once strained it's time to skim off any scum.
- You can do this by laying a piece of baking paper over the top of the mixture and pulling it away carefully and smoothly.
- Do it this way and it will come off beautifully.
- Pour the mixture evenly into the jars or whatever container you want to use.
- Baked Custard Pudding: Stand the jars in a deep baking tray and fill the tray or pan with boiling water until about halfway up the jars.
- Bake in an oven pre-heated to 150C for 35 - 40 minutes.
- When you gently shake one of the jars and the custard jiggles lightly, they're ready.
- Steamed Custard Pudding: Cover each jar with a lid made from aluminum foil.
- Boil hot water in a pan (an amount that would reach halfway up the custard pudding jars) and stand the jars inside the pan.
- Cover the pan with a lid and leave to steam on low heat for 8 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and leave in the pan for another 10 minutes.
- Please check to see if they're done in the same way as the baked custard puddings.
- You should now have some delicious custard pudding Jiggle jiggle.
