Butterscotch Custard With Clove And Black Pepper Recipes

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, stir together the brown sugar, milk, corn syrup and butter. Warm over low heat until smooth and butter is melted. Do not boil.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar until melted and smooth. Whisk in cream, milk, Scotch, vanilla and salt. Bring mixture to a simmer, stirring often.
• In a large bowl, whisk the yolks. Whisking constantly, pour in the hot cream mixture in a steady stream until incorporated. Whisk in the clove and pepper; let steep 20 minutes, until cool. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve.
• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Divide the custard among eight 6-ounce ramekins. Transfer ramekins to a baking dish that fits them fairly snugly. Fill the dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Cover with foil and prick foil with a fork. Bake until the custards are set but jiggle slightly when nudged, 35 to 50 minutes.
• Cool to room temperature, then wrap with plastic and chill until firm. Serve with a dollop of crème fraîche.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine cream, crème fraîche, brown sugar and salt over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently to dissolve sugar.
• Cook at a vigorous simmer until mixture thickens slightly, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in molasses and vanilla. Let sit until mixture has cooled slightly and a skin forms on top, about 20 minutes.
• Stir mixture, then strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a measuring cup with a spout. Pour mixture into ramekins or individual serving bowls.
• Refrigerate, uncovered, until set, at least 3 hours and up to 3 days. Serve with whipped cream and berries, if you like.

Steps:

• In a bowl, mash together the butter, thyme, chives, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, lemon zest, salt and pepper.
• Spoon the butter onto a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap, form into a log and wrap well. Chill for at least 2 hours before using.

Steps:

• Dissolve the caster sugar with 3 tbsp water over a low heat. Bring to the boil but don't stir at all. When the sugar is a dark golden caramel, whisk in butter. Remove from the heat and stir in double cream.

Steps:

• Butter a 1.5-litre pudding basin. To make the sponge, cream the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well between each addition, then add the vanilla extract.
• Sift the flour and baking powder into the bowl and fold into the sponge mixture, ensuring there are no lumps of flour remaining. Finally, stir the milk into the mixture.
• Fill the basin with the sponge mixture and cover with a double layer of buttered foil and baking parchment, making a pleat in the centre to allow the pudding to rise. Tie the foil securely with string, then place in a steamer or large pan containing enough gently simmering water to come halfway up the sides of the basin. Steam for 2 hrs until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
• To make the custard, bring the milk to the boil. In a bowl, beat together the yolks, sugar, cornflour and vanilla extract. Pour the scalded milk over the egg mix and beat well. Return to the pan and place over a low heat, stirring for a few mins until the mix begins to thicken. Take off the heat and leave to cool.
• For the butterscotch sauce, dissolve the sugar with 2 tbsp water over a low heat. Bring to the boil; do not stir. When the sugar has turned into a dark, golden caramel, whisk in the butter. Remove from the heat and stir the cream through.
• When the sponge is cooked, turn out onto a plate, drizzle with the butterscotch sauce and serve with the custard.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Season chicken all over with salt, and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Smash all the garlic cloves with the side of a knife and peel them. Finely grate one garlic clove and put it in a small bowl. Stir in the 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice, paprika, oregano, brown sugar (if using) and cumin. Pour over chicken, tossing to coat.
• Add tomatoes and remaining smashed, peeled garlic cloves to baking sheet, spreading them out around the chicken. Season tomatoes lightly with salt and drizzle with a little more olive oil. Scatter pancetta on top.
• Roast until chicken is golden and cooked through, about 30 to 35 minutes. After 15 minutes, stir the tomatoes and pancetta, but don't disturb the chicken.
• Transfer chicken to plates. Stir the tomatoes and pancetta around in the pan, scraping up all the delicious browned bits from the bottom and sides, and stir in the herbs and black pepper to taste. Taste and add salt, if needed, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, if you like. Spoon tomatoes, garlic and pancetta over the chicken to serve.
