Ingredients :
YELLOWS 4
CORNSTARCH 40 g
SEMOLINATED SUGAR 200g
MILK 500ml
VANILLA EXTRACT 1 teaspoon
LEMON 1

Instructions :

Pour the milk into a saucepan.

Add the whole zest of 1 lemon, taking care not to also remove the most bitter white part. Place the saucepan on the stove and bring the milk to a boil.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar and vanilla using a hand whisk.

Add the sifted cornstarch and stir again to combine.

When the milk is close to boiling, remove it from the heat and pour in the egg yolk and sugar mixture, stirring constantly.

Return to the heat and cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until you obtain a cream of the right consistency.

Pour the custard into a wide, shallow tray or glass container, spread it out and cover with plastic wrap.

Use your custard to garnish a dessert or simply enjoy it by the spoonful.
