Drambuie Flavored Crème Anglaise Recipes

CRéME ANGLAISE

Steps:

• Bring milk, cream and vanilla bean pulp and pod to a boil. Cover pan, turn off heat and let rest for at least 10 minutes or for up to 1 hour.
• Fill a large bowl with ice cubes, and set aside a smaller bowl that can hold finished cream.
• Whisk yolks and sugar together in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Whisking constantly, drizzle in one-quarter of the hot liquid. When yolks are warm, add the rest of the liquid in a steadier stream. Remove pod, return pan to medium heat and, whisking vigorously, cook cream until it thickens slightly, lightens in color and reaches 180 degrees. Alternatively, you can coat a wooden spoon with cream, then draw your finger across it; if cream doesn't run into the track you have created, it's done.
• Immediately remove pan from heat, and allow cream to rest for a few minutes until it reaches 182 degrees. Strain cream into the small bowl, set bowl into ice bath, add cold water and, stirring frequently, cool completely. Cover cream and chill, if possible for 24 hours.

HOMEMADE DRAMBUIE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a tightly covered container.
• Shake several times for the first 24 hours.
• After 24 hours, remove lemon zest.
• Cover and let stand for 2 weeks in a cool, dark place shaking gently every other day.
• Strain through a sieve to remove the angelica and fennel seeds.
• cover and let stand in a cool dark place for several months (preferably 6 months).
• Pour clear liquid into carafe for drinking enjoyment.
• Cloudy dregs may be saved for cooking.

DRAMBUIE SAUCE

Steps:

• Add 100mml of drambuie to a hot saucepan, bring it to the boil and allow it to reduce by half.
• Reduce the heat then stir in 150ml of double cream and season with salt & pepper. If you want a slightly sweeter sauce add 2-3tsp of clear Scottish honey at this point. Allow this mixture to reduce by half to a nice thick consistency.
• Once reduced, take the sauce of the heat and serve it over the haggis.
