Steps

  1. Step 1

    Beat whites to firm peaks. Heat milk just below simmering and poach small spoonfuls of white in batches, turning gently until they reach 74 °C; lift out and drain.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk yolks with sugar and flour; temper with some hot milk, return to the saucepan and stir gently over low heat until thickened and reaching 74 °C. Stir in vanilla.

  3. Step 3

    Transfer custard and whites separately to shallow containers and chill promptly. Spoon cold custard into dishes and place poached whites on top.
