Instructions
vanilla custard
- Make custard first or at least start pancakes when custard is almost finished to prevent them from being cold
- In a bowl combine the egg yolk and the sweetener. Add in vanilla extract and liquid sweetener as well
- In a small sauce pan pour in heavy cream and toss in butter. Heat it up slightly warm enough to touch but the butter is melted.
- Slow pour warmed heavy cream and butter in small increments on top of mixed egg yolk. Mixing in between pours
- After all is mix with egg pour back into small pot on low to medium heat and continue stirring
- After a while you will notice the custard to start to thicken. If you see lumps drop the temperature. It's too high and you're cooking the egg too fast.
- After thick remove from heat. You may pour in a bowl to avoid the hot pot to continuing to cook the custard. Place to the side until pancakes are done.

Notes
How to make pancakes:
- On a skillet or shallow fry pan heat to medium heat
- Butter or oil pan after heated covering all areas. One tablespoon should do for butter or oil
- Pour small sized pancakes with batter into heated pan. Not too close the pancake shouldn't be touching each other.
- While cooking the edges will begin to firm up. Don't flip just yet. You need the center to cook so watch the edges and for a thickness to form across the pancake. This is a sign the pan side has cooked. Flip it now!
- Allow the other side to cook. Note, it will cook faster than the first side. A way to check for doneness is simply poking the center of pancake. Or you could cut one in half.
