Welcome to the May 2021 Newsletter from Delphine's 


Just as May flowers are starting to come out so too are quilters.  It's been great to see folks that haven't been in during the pandemic and to hear about the quilts that have been made.  I don't know of any sewist or quilter that got bored this past year!

Recipe of the Month

Natilla: Creamy Custard from https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/natilla-creamy-custard

My daughter is raising chickens and I seem to have an abundance of eggs in my refrigerator these days.  Having a dairy sensitivity I made this recipe with Creamy Oat Milk by Chobani.  While the custard was not thick like a milk custard it was delicious.

Ingredients

Ingredient Checklist

Directions

Instructions Checklist
  • In a large saucepan, combine the milk with the lemon zest, cinnamon stick and salt and bring to a simmer. In a large heatproof bowl, using a handheld electric mixer, beat the granulated sugar with the egg yolks at medium speed until they are pale, about 4 minutes. Beat in the cornstarch slurry. At low speed, gradually beat in half of the hot milk.

  • Pour the egg-and-milk mixture into the saucepan and cook the custard over moderate heat, whisking constantly for 18 minutes, until very thick. Whisk in the vanilla. Transfer the custard to a large bowl and discard the cinnamon stick and lemon zest. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the custard and refrigerate until chilled, about 3 hours. Spoon the custard into 6 bowls, sprinkle with ground cinnamon and serve.

The egg custard can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
