Russian Custard has been around for centuries. Martha Washington has a recipe for Orange Fool in her cookbook, which was orange flavored Russian Custard. It can be made countless ways, such as whipping it with a whisk, mixing it in a mixer or blending it in a blender. The recipe is easy and leaves no hunger for hours.

For two to three servings use: 

7 pastured egg yolks

2 teaspoons local honey

1 teaspoon vanilla

First separate the yolks from the egg whites and place all the yolks in a blender or stand up mixer. The whites can be used later for meringue cookies. 

Blend on the lowest speed until the yolks turn a soft yellow, whitish color, and become thick (emulsified). This usually takes roughly 20 minutes. 

If using a mixer, use a medium speed for roughly 20 minutes. With a mixer, the mixture will be fluffier.
