[@theresonising]

multi-tasking while watching and I had to rewind that part bc I missed the ingredients for the custard. Heard eggs. Thickening agent. Heard CORN STARCH. Two thickening agents, babe! XD

[@karamarkham5682]

When they said to "swirl" the sugar it means to literally swirl it in the pan instead of stirring it. When you stir it, it creates a nucleation point for crystals to begin forming. That's why that disc of sugar crystals formed on top. I'm glad you were able to save it and the end product looked great!

[@_bebeboudeur_]

wait, what's the difference? i thought both meant like doing circles with your spatula in the pan (english isn't my first language)

[@karamarkham5682]

@_bebeboudeur_ when you stir you put the utensil in the mixture and move it around. Swirling is picking up the pot and moving the mixture around by tilting it in a circular motion. It's hard to e plain, but hopefully that helps!

for future reference the reason you mix the milk, sugar and yeast is so you can activate the yeast :D also corn starch is the thickening agent in the custard

Will it work with cold milk? The recipe saying it needs to foam makes me think it should be cold, but the yeast makes me think it should be warm.

[@tiamo543]

@@pcbassoon3892 since she used oat milk I’m not sure. Regular milk should be warm or room temp though. Maybe since it’s oat it fed the yeast better or maybe it was actually room temp since it was sitting out for a bit

[@tonimfuller]

Love your videos! Little baking tip - you need a LOT more oil for frying donuts! That's why they got so dark before they were cooked in the middle (also probs needed a lower temp). It seems wasteful/excessive, but if the donuts don't have enough oil to float with at least a couple of inches between them and the bottom of the pan, you will overcook the outside and have raw inside. You can always put the oil into an empty container to reuse for another time/something else. Hope that helps for next time! But....I'm SUPER impressed at your first attempt at caramel and custard! Not easy to do and they both looked great!

For future reference yeast are microorganisms that feed on the sugar that you provide them and produce carbon dioxide as a byproduct which is used in baking to help things rise. So that's why you have to put sugar with liquid such as milk and then mix the yeast in and leave it until it goes all foamy. 👩‍🍳

5:45 I think it thickens because of the eggs and sugar! The eggs cook slightly, so its just like when you bake an egg, except it doesn't actually cook all the way.

The sugar got that weird white stuff because it recrystallized from you stirring and reintroducing unmelted sugar. Youre not supposed to stir it but swirl it meaning hold the handle of the pan and move it so the liquid swirls around the pan lightly but you don’t really need to touch it much at all 🫶🏼
