Honey Budino Recipe

Prepare the Milk Mixture

In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, honey, granulated sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until just steaming but not boiling.

Whisk Egg Yolks

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Temper the Egg Yolks

Slowly pour a small amount of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks while whisking vigorously. This will temper the yolks and prevent them from scrambling.

Combine Mixtures

Gradually add the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture, whisking constantly.

Cook the Budino

Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

Chill

Remove from heat, pour into serving dishes, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.

Whip the Cream

In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip until soft peaks form.

Chill

Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Prepare the Oven

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Melt Ingredients

In a saucepan over low heat, combine the granulated sugar, honey, and butter. Stir until melted and smooth.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.

Combine Mixtures

Pour the melted mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.

Shape the Tuiles

Drop small spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out thinly into circles.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

Cool and Shape

Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute, then carefully lift and shape the tuiles over a rolling pin or mold for a curved effect.
