why do you people do recipes without the correct measurments

[lizzay127]

Did it not occur to the people who made this video to give the viewers the actual recipe?

@daquach91 It also gets lumpy if you overcook it-- I've had that problem before and sometimes it can't be saved, which is a bummer. Also agreed about the measurements.

ok.. 1 cup of sugar is way too sweet.

Here is my recipe

1 1/2 cups milk ( or half&half)

4 egg yolks ( i like the flavor of the yolk)

1/4 cup of sugar

2 tbls plus 2 tsp of cornstarch

1 tbls all purpose flour

1 tsp of good vanilla

You dont have to do an ice bath. Just follow the video and put a layer of plastic over the top.

It will look lumpy, not because there are lumps, but because it is very thick.

Use about six egg yolks, one vanilla bean, corn starch (to thicken), sugar. Put on stove, stir with whisk until mixture begins to thicken and bubble up. Take off stove, and then put in about 4 ounces of unsalted butter in spoon fulls and stir it in

Then put in ice bath and keep stirring until it is sufficiently cooled, be sure to taste. Either store away or get a pastry bag out or make chocolate mousse :)

If you do not want to share your exact recipe with other people " All measurements and ingredient ect. " . It is frustrating to watch your video. Please list all measurement in the future video so do not waste people time.

Thanks

from what I could tell visually, here it is:

-1 cup sugar

-2 eggs + 1 yolk (4 egg yolks will work too)

-about 20g flour (you can do this manually to adjust the thickness of your cream)

-2 cups of Half & Half Cream (2-10% milk fat will work)

by "risk cooking the eggs" she meant coagulating the eggs, they're still cooked (for the apprehensive bunch)

*you can throw in a tablespoon of vanilla for more flavor too.

No recipe??? Not good!!!

[daquach91]

That looks a tad lumpy... maybe run it through a sieve?

And yes, measurements would be nice.
