Ingredients:
Chilled Bourbon Custard6 large egg yolks 1/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour pinch salt 2 cups milk 1 to 2 tbs bourbon, good quality sweetened whipped cream, for garnish freshly grated nutmeg, for garnish
Directions:
Place a medium-size ceramic or stainless-steel bowl in the refrigerator to chill. In a heavy saucepan (not aluminum) combine the egg yolks,sugar, flour, and salt. Beat until the mixture is pale pale yellow. Warm the milk in a small saucepan. Place the egg yolk mixture over low heat and slowly stir in the warm milk. Cook, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon, until the custard coats a wooden spoon rather heavily, 4 to 5 minutes. Immediately pour the custard into the chilled mixing bowl (this stops the cooking), cover, and place in the refrigerator until it is cold, about 2 hours. Do not stir the custard while it is chilling. When the custard is thoroughly chilled, stir in the bourbon. Serve in custard cups, topped with sweetened whipped cream. Sprinkle a little nutmeg over the whipped cream if you like. Serves 4. Serves 4
