My 2007 Epcot Food and Wine Festival recipe book arrived today and it's a good thing that looks like it has some good recipes in it because whoever shipped my order sent it to Canada instead of my US mailing address and the customs ended up costing me $23.00 on an $11 item plus 2 nightshirts!!!
I can only transcribe one or two a day because I'm so busy so here is the first request:
Maple Custard Topped with Almond Crumble
Epcot Food and Wine Festival 2007, Canada
Serves 6
1 cup cream
2 whole large eggs
2 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons granulated maple sugar
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of sugar
Garnish:
6 tablespoons finely crushed almond cookies
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a small saucepan, put 1/4 cup of the heavy cream with the granulated maple sugar and cook over low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside to cool.
3. In a large bowl, add the cooled maple sugar cream, remaining cream, milk, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla and the salt.
4. Whisk all the ingredients together until well combined. Strain the liquid into a 1 quart measuring cup, using a fine mesh sieve.
5. Divide the custard between 6 5-ounce ramekins and transfer them to a deep baking pan.
6. Carefully add enough boiling water to the baking pan to reach up to the middle of the ramekins.
7. Bake for approximately 40 to 45 minutes or when a metal skewer comes out clean when inserted in the center.
8. Transfer the ramekins to a cooling rack and allow to set for at least 30 minutes before serving.
9. To serve, sprinkle one tablespoon of crushed almond cookies on the top of each custard and drizzle each with 1 teaspoon of maple syrup.
Note:
the custards are best served warm, however they can be made one day in advance, covered and chilled without the garnish. Serve at room temperature and garnish just before serving.
