Formel
## How to Calculate Custard Ratios ### Formula **Eggs = ceil(Total Dairy / (120 mL x Style Factor))** ### Style Factors - **Standard baked custard**: 1 whole egg per 120 mL of dairy (milk, cream, or a blend) - **Rich creme brulee**: 1 egg per 90 mL (denser, uses more yolks) - **Light quiche**: 1 egg per 180 mL (more liquid, softer set) Using a higher proportion of yolks to whites produces a richer, silkier custard. Many creme brulee recipes use yolks only. ### Sugar For sweet custards, about 8% of the total dairy weight in sugar is a balanced starting point.
Lösungsbeispiel
6 servings of 150 mL standard baked custard.
- 01Total dairy = 6 x 150 = 900 mL
- 02Eggs = ceil(900 / 120) = ceil(7.5) = 8 eggs
- 03Dairy in cups = 900 / 240 = 3.75 cups
- 04Sugar = 900 x 0.08 = 72 g (about 1/3 cup)
Häufig Gestellte Fragen
Should I use whole eggs or yolks only?
Whole eggs set firmer and are good for baked custard and quiche. Yolks only (or mostly yolks) create a richer, creamier texture ideal for creme brulee and pot de creme. Count 2 yolks as roughly 1 whole egg for setting power.
What temperature should I bake custard?
Bake at 325°F in a water bath (bain-marie) until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly. The internal temperature should reach 170-175°F. Overbaking causes curdling and a watery texture.
Can I use all milk or all cream?
Yes. All milk produces a lighter custard. All cream is very rich and dense. A common blend is half whole milk and half heavy cream for a balanced richness.
