December 18, 2009, Newsletter Issue #308: Making Custard

Tip of the Week

Custards need to be cooked over low heat, whether they are baked or cooked in a saucepan. High heat causes them to curdle. If your custard is cooked on the stovetop, use a double boiler. Check custard for doneness by lifting spoon and holding for 15-20 seconds - if the spoon doesn´t show through, your custard is done.
