Creme anglais and creme patisserie are the dessert sauces that all forms known as "custard" spring from. They also provide a good carrier for various complementary flavours depending on what you're serving it with. This recipe gives way to cinnamon and brandy (cognac) which are wonderful flavours for the festive season. Its also a good alternative to brandy sauce.

12 Egg yolks

1/4 tsp cinnamon
25ml Cognac

Boil up the milk with the vanilla bean, cinnamon & cognac, but once boiling, turn down to simmer.

Sabyon the sugar and the egg yolks (in a bain marie)

Pour on the milk

Mix till thickened

Strain through a fine sieve & serve.
