Title: Creme Anglaise-Martha Stewart Living
Yield: 1 1/2 Cup

Ingredients

  1 1/4 c  milk
      1    whole vanilla bean
    1/3 c  sugar
      3 lg egg yolks
      1 ts cornstarch
      1 tb cognac

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring milk and vanilla bean
to a boil. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Remove
vanilla bean.

2. Using an electric mixer, beat together sugar and egg yolks until
thick and fluffy. Add cornstarch. Mix in boiled milk, a little at a
time, on low speed. When mixture is thoroughly blended, transfer to a
heavy enameled saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring slowly and
constantly with a wooden spoon. Continue stirring, without letting

sieve and cool. Refrigerate in a covered container until ready to
use, up to 2 days.
