Bourbon Custard Recipe

By Diana Rattray, About.com

Bourbon custard recipe, cooked over low heat.

Ingredients:

  • 6 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
  • pinch salt
  • 2 cups milk, warmed
  • 1 tablespoon good Kentucky Bourbon
  • sweetened whipped cream and freshly grated nutmeg or ground cinnamon, for garnish

Preparation:

Place a medium glass bowl in the refrigerator to chill.

In a heavy nonreactive saucepan combine the egg yolks, sugar, flour, and salt. Beat until the mixture is pale yellow. Place over low heat and slowly stir in the warm milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until custard coats a wooden spoon quite thickly, about 5 minutes.

Immediately pour the custard into the chilled mixing bowl; cover and place in the refrigerator until custard is cold, about 2 hours. When the custard is chilled, stir in the bourbon.

Serve in dessert cups, topped with sweetened whipped cream. Sprinkle a little nutmeg or cinnamon over the whipped cream.
Serves 4.
