"This recipe was part of a Realsimpledotcom email. Wikipedia describes basic Crème Anglaise better than I could & in fewer words ... "Crème anglaise (French for "English cream") is a light pouring custard used as a dessert cream or sauce" that is most often used to top bakery goods, fruits or ice cream. This recipe flavors it w/Brandy, but I also think a version flavored w/coffee crystals would be outstanding & I cannot wait to try that. (Prep time was hardly worthy of note since it just measures 3 ingredients & strains the yield, but I allowed 2 min. The cook time was given by the site.) ENJOY!"
