I think it’s called creme anglaise in other countries. Vanilla, egg yolks, sugar, cream/milk and a little cornflour to thicken.

I have had crème anglaise before, although I have never made it. Here in the south of the US cobbler is usually served with vanilla ice cream, but the custard sounds very good too.

Yeah. Ice cream is basically just churned, frozen custard (as I’ve described it) so we’re not a million miles off in our accompaniments.

You guys have warm weather so go with the ice cream. Ours is crap so we have warm custard!!

Either way sounds delicious. Enough to inspire me to make peach cobbler this weekend. Since it will be snowing tomorrow maybe I will give the custard a try. How thick do you serve yours? Like a sauce texture?

Yeah, like a thick pouring consistency. I used 10g of cornflour per 500ml of milk/cream.

Sounds good, thanks. Now I just have to use my math skills and figure out how many tablespoons is a gram and what’s the conversion of ml to ounces.

Now I’m even more curious. So you make egg mayonnaise with cooked eggs? That’s why I got confused, I’ve made egg mayonnaise with liquid eggs, oil and vinegar.

It's mayonnaise with boiled eggs mixed within it, grated cheese and spring onions is another favourite of mine

Sounds like what we would call an egg salad here in the US, except that we don’t add grated cheese. I like it too!

They are jar peaches because this time of the year the fresh ones wouldn’t be very good.
