You may know this sauce as creme Anglaise. It's delectable drizzled over sliced nectarines, fresh blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries. Be sure to use a double boiler when making this sauce, since this will result in a much better texture than cooking it over direct heat.

Name: Amount:
egg,slightly beaten 2 ea
sugar 2 Tbsp
salt 0.25 tsp
fat-free milk 1.50 cups
pure vanilla extract 1 tsp
1:

Combine all the ingredients except the vanilla in the top of a double boiler or in a small saucepan.

 2:

Cook over hot (not boiling) water, stirring constantly. If using a saucepan, cook over the lowest possible heat, stirring constantly. When the custard is thick enough to coat a spoon, remove from the heat.

 3:

Cool quickly by placing the pan in a bowl of ice water. Stir in the vanilla. Serve while warmn, or let cool to room temperature and serve immediately.
