Reduce heat and add the butter while mixing. When the butter is melted, add 120ml <em>(1\/2 cup)<\/em> of water, very gently to avoid splashes, stirring constantly, until a smooth mixture. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes on high heat, then remove from heat and let cool. Caramel will stay liquid.<\/p>\n<p>Also prepare the custard.<\/p>\n<p>In a pan, heat the milk with the vanilla pod cut in half (and grated).<\/p>\n<p>Mix the egg yolks with 60g <em>(1\/3 cup) <\/em>of sugar and whip until it whitens. Add 1\/3 of the heated milk to the egg yolks and stir well, poor all of it in a pan and heat it in a bain-marie and keep stirring until it starts to thicken. Let it cool and set it aside in the fridge.<\/p>\n<p>Just before serving, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt, until stiff. Add 60g <em>(1\/3 cup)<\/em> of sugar and beat again. Divide the beaten egg whites in 6 portions. Cook every portion in a bowl, 30 seconds in microwaves (800W). Drop the cooked island on the custard, top with the caramel and enjoy!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Plate: Sol @ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bernardaud.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bernardaud<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If only you can find eggs, say goodbye to the tricky poaching, here is a dead simple \u201cIles flottantes\u201d recipe.
