Ingredients

  • 2 cups scalded milk
  • 8 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup caramelized syrup (made with 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water)
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest.

Directions

  1. Scald the milk in a double boiler for 15 minutes and set aside.
  2. To make the caramelized syrup: In a heavy metal pan, heat 1 cup of sugar over medium heat until the sugar is golden brown. Gradually add the 1/2 cup water to dissolve the caramelized sugar and form a syrup. Line the bottom of a 1 quart mold with the caramel syrup and set aside.
  3. Beat the egg yolks and slowly add 1 cup sugar, scalded milk, and vanilla. Add the zest also, if desired.
  4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the mold. Place the mold in a large pan half-filled with water. Put the pan with the mold in the oven and bake for 1 hour or until mixture becomes firm. Cool before removing from the mold and invert into a plate.
