Almost every country in Europe have their own version of Floating Island, altho it’s been said that it is French origin. The one am sharing today is Hungarian style. My husband’s mother prepared it 😀
1 L milk
4 eggs, separate yolks from whites
Enough sugar (about 4-6 tbsp, depending your liking)
1 envelope vanilla sugar
Method
Bring milk to boil
In a bowl, whisk yolks with enough sugar and vanilla sugar
Beat egg whites until stiff, adding 1 tbsp sugar a little at a time
Once milk is fully boiled, take off pot from stove
Take out a little milk, stir into yolk mixture
Pour yolk mixture into pot and stir quickly, then top with whipped egg whites/meringue
Serve immediately
Note: you can also top boiled milk with egg whites first, let it boil a bit, then stir in yolk mixture (she prefers this method more, which is shown on the collage pictures :-D)
