Comfort Custard

1 Comment

This egg custard is simple and nourishing comfort food. It’s ideal for anyone with a sensitive stomach or compromised digestion. It can be enjoyed warm or chilled. For Ayurveda enthusiasts, when taken warm, it’s calming to Vata. When chilled or cool, it eases Pitta, and when a teaspoon of ghee along with a bit of ginger and cardamom are added, it becomes more balancing to Kapha. For a delicious twist, turn this into maple custard by using maple sugar, or into caramel-style custard by using jaggery in place of raw sugar.

These muffins are tender, aromatic, healthy and delicious! They’re great with hot chai tea or coffee, fresh, seasonal fruit, yogurt, nut butters and additional ghee for spreading. The recipe makes 12-15 muffins. If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, blend 1/2 cup yogurt with 1/2 cup water to use as a substitute, or add 1 tbsp lemon juice to a measuring cup. Pour in some milk to equal 1 cup. Let it sit for 5 minutes before adding to the recipe.
