Preparation Time:10 mins  |  Performance: 6 servings

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1l semi-skimmed milk
  • 1 lemon peel
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 200 g sugar
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 4 eggs
  • 110 g of Type 55 flour or 60g of cornstarch (Maizena)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
  • powdered sugar for sprinkling

PREPARATION:

First, boil the milk in a pan with the lemon peel and cinnamon stick.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add the sugar, salt, egg yolks and eggs. Mix well until smooth.

Add the flour and mix everything very well. Add the vanilla flavoring and mix again.

When the milk boils, remove the cinnamon stick and lemon peel.

Pour the hot milk into the mixture, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

Then, cook this mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk, until it boils and thickens - it takes about two minutes.

Pour the mixture into the mold. Smooth the surface and knock the mold on the table to remove all the air from between the egg whites.
