Notes: How to scald milk or cream: In a heavy bottomed sauce pan, add milk and heat on medium-low.
Stir frequently to ensure milk doesn’t burn on the bottom of the pan.
Keep heating the milk until it starts to steam and small bubbles start to form around the edges of the pan. It’s important not to BOIL the milk. Remove from the heat..Because milk and cream are pasteurized it is no longer necessary to scald them but some recipes call for it.
Before adding the eggs make sure the cream has sufficiently cooled or you will end up with "scrambled eggs".
