 Crème Brulé with Corsendonk® Abbey Brown AleIngredientsAbout 1 ½ cups granulated sugar Four egg yolks 1 teaspoon corn flour 1 cinnamon stick 1 teaspoon grated orange rind 5 oz. Corsendonk® Abby Brown Ale 13.5 oz. milk Two soup spoons almond flakes 1 teaspoon sunflower oil Preparation To prepare the crème, add 10 tablespoons of sugar to the egg yolks in a pan and beat until foamy. Fold in the corn flour, grated orange rind, cinnamon stick, milk and beer. Stir constantly and gently heat until the cream becomes heavier. Take the pan off the burner and remove the cinnamon stick. Distribute the crème in four heat-resistant dishes and place in refrigerator to cool for one hour. To prepare the caramelized sugar for decoration, put 12 tablespoons of sugar and the sunflower oil in a pan. Let the sugar melt, stirring, until golden brown. Grease the back of a soup ladle and drape caramel over it in a random lattice pattern like the illustration. Let it cool for a minute and then gently remove the caramel and let it harden completely. Repeat three times for the other dishes. Before serving, sprinkle the remaining sugar over the crème and place the dishes under a hot broiler to caramelize the sugar lightly, or use a propane torch (carefully) for the same purpose. Sprinkle the dishes with the almond flakes, decorate with the sugar lattice, and plate with sliced strawberries and oranges. Serve with a glass of cooled Corsendonk® Abbey Brown Ale. |
