Custard is made by blending eggs with milk or cream and gently heating to thicken. There are three main types of custard: pure custards thickened by eggs alone; starch-thickened custards with added flour or cornstarch; and gelatin-set custards for richness. Cream is the higher-butterfat layer skimmed from milk before homogenization. Common custard ingredients include eggs, milk, sugar, salt, flavorings, and starches like flour or cornstarch. Examples of custard dishes provided are baked honey custard, baked custard tart, Boston cream pie, apple and mango puree, and lemon lime curd tarts.

Assignment
1. What is custard?
= Custard is a culinary preparation made by blending eggs with milk or cream. Custard
is thickened by the coagulation of the egg proteins, which is achieved by gently heating
the custard in some way.

2. Identify and explain the different types of custard
Pure or basic custards are thickened and set by eggs alone. These are the most
delicate custards; they require careful attention during cooking, which is usually done
in the even heat of a water bath, as they can quickly go from undercooked to broken
and curdled.
Starch-thickened custards contain ingredients such as flour or cornstarch for
added thickening power. These starches give custards more body, making them
sturdy enough to endure cooking with direct heat.
Gelatin-set custards have an alluring richness from the structural boost that only
gelatin can provide.

3. What is a Cream?
Cream is a dairy product composed of the higher-butterfat layer skimmed from
the top of milk before homogenization. In un-homogenized milk, the fat, which is
less dense, will eventually rise to the top. In the industrial production of cream,
this process is accelerated by using centrifuges called "separators". In many
countries, cream is sold in several grades depending on the total butterfat content.
Cream can be dried to a powder for shipment to distant markets. Cream has high
levels of saturated fat.
