1 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1/3 cup water |
8 egg yolks |
2 slices white bread |
3 tablespoons butter |
Directions:
1. Boil the water and sugar together until the mixture coats teh spoon when it is dipped in (3-5 minutes). Remove from heat.
2. Beat the egg yolks together and add them very gradually to the syrup, beating constantly so that they are well-incorporated.
3. Return to heat and stir constantly until thickened (10-15 minutes).
4. Meanwhile, remove crusts from bread and cut into 1-inch square cubes. Fry these in the butter to a golden brown.
5. When first mixture is thick, stir the bread cubes into it.
