As a foodie, the delicate and smooth texture of custard makes me addicted, so making custard as smooth as a restaurant has become my little dream. After experiencing countless failures, I finally figured out a few tips for making custards and made custards that were well received and loved by my family. From then on, making custards became so easy!
1. The best ratio of eggs to water is 1:1.5
Of course it doesn’t have to be that strict, just about the same. I didn't use a measuring cup, I just used the relatively complete eggshells after beating the eggs to roughly measure.
2. You can also use chopsticks to beat the egg liquid, but a whisk will save more effort. The beaten egg liquid must be filtered with a filter to remove air bubbles, and it is best to skim off the few air bubbles on the surface with a spoon. The best container to hold egg liquid is a stew pot with a lid. If not, you can use an ordinary bowl or a deeper plate, but you must cover it with plastic wrap and poke some small holes with toothpicks for ventilation. This step cannot be taken carelessly, it is the key to the success of the custard.
3. The egg liquid must be boiled before being put into the pot, and it will take about 8-10 minutes over high heat. This is also the key to the smoothness of the custard, so you can’t be careless.
4. Some people say that you must use cold boiled water to make egg custard, but I have also made it successfully with cold water, so there is no need to worry about the water issue. It is not the key to the success of the egg custard. You can do whatever you want. .
After completing these steps, your custard will be successful. As for the ingredients, it comes down to personal preference. Some people like to add a little cooking wine and salt to the egg liquid, or add a few shrimps and wolfberries to increase nutrition. I like the original custard, so I don’t add anything to the egg liquid, and I don’t feel the fishy smell of the eggs. I like to make a fuss on the steamed egg custard, and sprinkle a little salty roasted seaweed, a little fresh flavor, and a little sesame oil. Of course, personal tastes are different, just follow your own preferences. Friends who like to eat custard, try it now!
