2)Toasted Grain Custard
Ingredients
-
- Toasted Japanese rice flour
- 20g
-
- Milk
- 285g
-
- Butter
- 50g
-
- Egg yolk
- 40g
-
- Brown sugar

-
- Salt

Toasted the oats at 380 °F (190 °C) for 12-16 minutes or until they turn a
darker brown and put off a strong aroma.
Rice flour can be toasted at this time as well, using a separate pan (set
aside, once cooled, in an airtight container, to be used the next day)
Be sure to stir (oats and rice flour) every 4 minutes, until thoroughly
toasted.
Heat milk to scalding, then pour over the oats in a container that can be
sealed tight.
Allow to cool and refrigerate overnight. The next day, in an electric
blender, mix the oat/milk soaker together on high speed for 2 minutes. Run this mixture through a fine
mesh strainer (to remove oat pulp) and into a small saucepan.
Add brown sugar and salt to milk, and bring to boil.
Meanwhile, add white sugar and toasted rice flour to yolks in a mixing bowl
and whisk until completely combined and pale looking.
Pour 1/3 of your hot milk into the mixing bowl to temper the yolks. Whisk
quickly to emulsify.
Add another 1/3 of your milk and continue whisking.
Now pour your yolk mixture into the remaining 1/3 of milk in the pot and
stir over medium-low heat for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add butter. Continue to whisk until
completely emulsified.
Pour into a heat tolerant container, cover tightly and refrigerate for at
least an hour.
