Ingredients

  • 50cl single cream
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 2 tbsp buckwheat honey
  • 5 egg yolks
  • 2 bay leaves

Directions

1Preheat the oven to 180°C (th.6). In a pan, bring the single cream to the boil with the vanilla pod slit lengthways and scraped.

2Remove form the heat, let it cool down for 1 to 2 minutes, then stir in the honey, making sure it melts into the cream.

3Beat the yolks with an eggbeater until they are fluffy. Pour the warm cream over the eggs, beating the mixture continuously. Scrape the seeds out of the vanilla pod and remove it.

6Remove from the oven and let it cool in the fridge for an hour minimum.
