Add 1/2 cup of hot mixture into eggs; return to saucepan. Add sour cream and vanilla; beat with whisk until well blended. Place saucepan in a bowl of ice water for a few minutes to cool.

BAKED SOUR CREAM CUSTARD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 150°C. Place 1 cup of sugar and 1 tbsp of water in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Continue to cook until the sugar becomes a dark caramel. You can swirl the pan so that the caramel colours evenly, but do not stir. Stirring can cause sugar to crystallise. Pour the caramel into the base of a 1.2L baking dish, tilting the dish so the caramel completely covers the base before it sets. Beat together the eggs and remaining sugar, then whisk in sour cream, milk and cream and vanilla in that order. Pour the custard over the set caramel. Place the baking dish inside a larger dish and place into the oven. Pour boiling water into the larger dish until it comes half way up the sides of the custard. Bake the custard for 50 minutes until when the side of the baking tin is tapped, the custard barely wobbles in the middle. Remove from the oven, allow to cool to room temperature, and then refrigerate until chilled. Serve big scoops of the chilled custard, making sure to spoon up the liquid caramel from the bottom of the dish. Adam's tip If you have a steam oven, you can avoid having to use a bain marie for baking the custard. Just steam it at full steam for about 45 minutes. You can even turn on the grill at the end to brown the top if you like. Like this recipe? Try Adam Liaw's stroganoff stew.

SOUR CREAM CUSTARD TART WITH PEACHES, APRICOTS, OR NECTARINES

Steps:

• Making the custard.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees[F].
• Adjust rack to upper third of oven and place a heavy baking sheet on the rack.
• Place all custard ingredients in a food processor or blender.
• Process until well combined.
• (To mix by hand: In a large bowl, whisk together the egg with the orange zest, orange liqueur, and orange juice. Mix in sour cream, sugar, and sifted flour until the mixture is well blended. Break up any lumps of flour with your fingers.) The custard can be made up to three days in advance and refrigerated.
• Arranging the Fruit.
• For peaches or nectarine: Do not peel.
• Cut the fruit into sixths.
• Starting at the outside edge of the tart, lay slices on their sides, touching each other, in two concentric circles on the bottom of the baked tart shell.
• Arrange the few remaining pieces, skin side up, in the center to fill in the gaps.
• For apricots: Do not peel.
• Cut the apricots into fourths.
• Arrange the slices in their sides, nestled together, in three concentric circles on the bottom of the baked tart shell.
• Place 2 or 3 slices in the center to fill in the gaps.
• Filling and baking the tart: Place the custard mixture in a heatproof bowl and stir it over gently simmering water until it is just warm to the touch.
• Pour approximately 2 cups of sour cream custard mixture into the tart shell.
• The tops of the fruit slices will be poking up through the custard.
• Place the tart in the oven on the heated baking sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes.
• During baking, the custard will set from the outside edge toward the center of the tart.
• Watch carefully during the last 8 minutes or so of baking, jiggling the baking sheet occasionally, so that you can remove the tart from the oven as soon as the custard has set.
• (Fruit with a high water content may give off a lot of juice when cooked, which will make the center part of the tart appear very loose. Don't think that it means that the custard hasn't set; these juices will be absorbed back into the tart as it) Cool completely.
• Slip a cardboard round underneath and remove the flan ring.
• Serve at room temperature, with Vanilla Sauce flavored with orange liqueur, or Apricot Sauce.
