- 2. Custard Facts Custard: Any liquid set with eggs • Sugar slows coagulation of egg proteins • Acids speed up coagulation of egg proteins • Starch prohibits over coagulation by coating protein strands (will not squeeze tight) • Egg yolks contain an enzyme (Alpha Amylase) • Breaks down starch molecules, will cause custard to separate • Must be boiled 2-3 minutes to neutralize enzyme • Boil to cook starch flavor out • Custards with starch will not freeze properly (gritty texture) ChefMichaelScott LeadChefInstructorAESCA Boulder
- 3. Baking methods • Custards • Stovetop: temper hot liquid into egg/sugar mixture, strain back into pan and carefully heat until nappé on the stove, (cool down quickly). • Pastry cream, crème anglaise, lemon curd • Baked custards: temper hot liquid into egg/sugar mixture strain, pour into dish and bake on a low temperature, usually in a water bath. • Crème brûlée, crème caramel, quiche, pot du creme ChefMichaelScott LeadChefInstructorAESCA Boulder
