Cinnamon Anglaise Recipes

CINNAMON CREME ANGLAISE

Steps:

• Combine the milk, cream, and cinnamon sticks in a small saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat, and allow to steep for 30 minutes, until flavors are infused.
• Fill a large bowl with ice and water; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar until lightened in color, about 2 minutes. Return the milk mixture to medium heat, and bring to a simmer; reduce the heat to low. Whisk about 1/2 cup of the milk mixture into the egg-yolk mixture, and return it to the saucepan. Cook until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
• Strain the creme anglaise through a fine sieve into a bowl set in the ice bath, discarding the cinnamon sticks. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine cream, milk, and cinnamon sticks. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat, and let steep for 1 hour. Remove cinnamon sticks, and discard. Add half of the sugar, and stir to combine.
• Prepare an ice-water bath. In a large bowl, combine the remaining sugar, egg yolks, and salt in a large bowl. Stir to combine. Return cream to a boil and, very quickly, pour it into the yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Set aside for 3 minutes. Add vanilla and strain through a fine sieve. Discard solids.

ANGLAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a saucepan, over high heat, whisk the cream together with the sugar and vanilla bean. Bring to a simmer and remove from the heat. In a bowl beat the egg yolks until thick and frothy. Temper the egg yolks by stirring just 1 tablespoon of the sauce into the yolks, then another, then another, until all is incorporated. Turn the egg yolk mixture into the sauce and stir until thoroughly blended. Return the saucepan to low heat and cook 2 to 4 minutes, stirring often to prevent scorching. Remove from the heat. Strain through a fine mesh sieve.

GINGER CRèME ANGLAISE

Steps:

• Cut gingerroot into 4 pieces and smash with flat side of a knife. In a small heavy saucepan bring half-and-half and gingerroot just to a simmer over moderately low heat, about 10 minutes (do not let boil). While mixture is heating, in a bowl whisk together yolks and sugar until smooth. Add hot half-and-half mixture in a slow stream, whisking, and transfer custard to pan. Cook custard over moderately low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until a thermometer registers 170°F, about 5 minutes (do not let boil). Pour custard through a fine sieve into a clean bowl and cool. (Crème anglaise may be made 3 days ahead and chilled, covered. Bring crème anglaise to room temperature before serving.)
