Ingredients
- 500ml whole milk
- 50g butter
- 1 onion, chopped
- 6 cloves
- 1 star anise
- 1 bay leaf
- 3 thyme sprigs
- 100g stale crustless white bread, made into rough breadcrumbs
- 4 tbsp clotted cream
- pinch nutmeg, freshly grated
Method
Simmer the milk, butter, onion, cloves, star anise and herbs in a pan for 20 mins. Can be done the day before and left to infuse in the fridge. Strain the mixture and return the liquid to the pan. Place back on the heat and scatter in the breadcrumbs.
Simmer and stir for 3-4 mins until you have a thick sauce. Stir in the clotted cream and nutmeg, season generously and serve. Can be made up to three days ahead; reheat on the hob or in the microwave on medium for three mins.
