Betty's Christmas Boiled Custard Recipe

[chickothon]

i9 actsadentlly cooked the eggs!:(my mom said she would help!:)

[edwardgordon]

Thanks Betty! More Info for those it might help.

* I used my electric oven eye a couple clicks past medium until the last heating when I lowered it to med, worked great, seemed it would take forever on low-medium.

* The first scalding I pulled it at 160 deg F

* The second I pulled it at about 210

* I used a whisk to beat the eggs

* I find it enjoyable if toasted with "Well bust my britches!" like my KY grandma used to say every christmas when we showed up

Betty, have you ever tried doing your boiled custard in the microwave oven. My older sister use to do hers that way, but not sure how to do it. I have done it the traditional way before, but the microwave method made it so easy and less likely to burn, etc.

[muggleborn95]

Could you keep this hot in a crockpot for a few hours after you make it?

[bettyskitchen]

@muggleborn95 You could put it there for the purpose of storing it for a couple of hours. You should not turn the crock pot on, because the custard will curdle and not be of the correct consistency. However, you can keep the custard warm for awhile in the crock pot, just from its heat after being prepared.

@bettyskitchen Thank you!

[ScorpionsTrail]

Yum yum.

[MyTubeVersion3]

Thanks for this recipe, Fish fingers and Custard = Gallifreyan food :D :D

[NightygaL]

Hi Betty! I'm planning to follow your custard recipe in the near future so I have one question, How long can the custard last in storage/the ref? Is it good for over a week?

[bettyskitchen]

@NightygaL I would keep it a week, but probably not longer than that.

--Betty :)

[NightygaL]

@bettyskitchen I tried it and it was successful! Thanks a lot!

[bettyskitchen]

@NightygaL That's great! Thanks for your feedback!

[asuwish13]

thanks Betty, i was wondering how i can make a thiker custard for eclairs. can i add an extra egg or so?

[bettyskitchen]

@asuwish13 Yes, that would thicken it; I'm not sure that would give you exactly what you want for eclairs. Maybe you could look up a recipe for eclairs. I have not done them yet in bettyskitchen.

Hey Betty, I'm really enjoying all of your recipes, especially those that are typical to Kentucky. I live in England and here we eat custard ALL THE TIME with desserts like 'spotted dick' (I know, weird name), jam roly poly, or even just pies or a fruit crumble. Often people just buy custard in a tin but when you're making it from scratch it's great to use half milk with half cream. I've never seen anyone drink it from a glass over here but it looks delicious. Keep cooking!

[bettyskitchen]

@alliefunkin Thanks for your sweet comment!  I really appreciate it!

--Betty :)

[HomemadeCafe]

Oh, I should have watched your video first, Betty! I had my Grandma's old recipe but the instructions weren't very clear. I let mine boil a bit and I have a few egg chunks. oops. It's still drinkable but now I know what it should look like, hehe. I'll probably make a new batch later.

[ideagirlconsulting]

great i've posted this too.

[cherd1971]

That looks so good. I must make that

[thelaurels13]

Where I come from we eat custard with a spoon. I've never seen anyone drink it from a glass before, so that's quite interesting.

[dickvains]

@thelaurels13 yeah me too. If you add nutmeg we call it eggnog not boiled custard

[jules4socca]

you repeated yourself a lot but very informative video! thanks!

[zubacian]

Is it okay to stir the milk when you are scalding it or should u just leave it?

[bettyskitchen]

@zubacian It's okay to stir it. Thanks for commenting!

--Betty :).

[animexia0xia0]

can this be use for a replacement of whipped cream for fruits pies?

[bettyskitchen]

@animexia0xia0 The consistency is not like whipped cream, so I don't think that it would be a good replacement.

--Betty :)

[kole6]

we had this on christmas poured over some apple pie. yum!!!!!!!!!!

sorry to hear about your sister :(

[bettyskitchen]

@kole6 Thanks for your great feedback and for your thoughtfulness regarding my sisterr.

--Betty :)

[MasterTubing]

This is a very well presented and informative video.

A pleasure to watch.

[bettyskitchen]

@MasterTubing Thanks for your nice comment!

It's so sad that you lost your sister. My sister died in a car wreck on my 12th birthday. My ex-girlfriend died from ovarian cancer May of 2008. She would have enjoyed your videos. I use her cookbooks (she had hundreds) whenever I need cooking advice. Go to my channel and watch the video Tomi's House. You can see her cute place and many of her precious cookbooks. Loved the recipe btw. Hope to try it soon.

[PointingTheWeigh]

Thanks for a lovely recipe. I would never have thought of drinking it from a glass...LOVELY!

Hugs to you both xx

[richardpeej]

Looking tasty Betty. In the UK we don't normally drink the custard from a glass, but quite often we would cut up a banana (like the one you have in your fruit bowl) put it in a dish pour the custard over it and then eat it with a spoon.Nice recipe-we will be trying that one for sure!-Richard

[WaltDisneySG]

Can that be a Custard pudding?

[bettyskitchen]

Yes, it's thin, but if you chill it, it will set up and make great custard pudding.

--Betty :)

[kokonutbaby1]

is this the same thing as egg nog?

looks yummy, thanks betty! --Angie

[bettyskitchen]

Hi Angie!

It is very much like eggnog, but it is thickened a bit.  If you want it as a drink, you need to drink it while it is warm. If you chill it, it is more like custard pudding.

--Betty :)

[SupportTheBlind]

Looking lovely Betty. I bet it is very tasty too.

[mizniss]

Betty you make these dishes so easy to prepare!! For the first time ever I'm cooking up a storm based on your recipes for christmas, and everything (so far) looks great - thank you!!

[fezan84]

Excellent recipe! My family makes a south asian version of this dish with green cardomom and a few other very aromatic spices. Thanks so much for the recipe and Merry Christmas to you!

Betty, I also love that little blue wok-type spoon you use for everything. It's your best culinary weapon, isn't it =]

[12quillemall5321]

My family makes boiled custard in their trifle dessert for Christmas.

[tuffydoodle]

Looks great!
