Description

A creamy custard topped with sugar and broiled until deep dark golden brown.

Ingredients

  • 2-¼ cups Milk, Divided
  • 7-⅔ Tablespoons Sugar, Divided
  • 1 whole Orange, Zest Cut In Large Strips (optional)
  • 3 drops Vanilla Extract, Or Orange Extract If Not Using Orange Zest
  • 3  Egg Yolks
  • 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 1 Tablespoon All-purpose Flour
  • 1 pinch Salt

Preparation

Reserve 3 tablespoons of milk. Pour remaining milk into a pan. Add 3 tablespoons of sugar and the orange zest or extract if using, and bring to just a boil.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, beat egg yolks with 2 tablespoons sugar, cornstarch, flour, and remaining 3 tablespoons milk.

Remove 1/2 a cup of hot milk from the pan and mix quickly with the egg mixture. Add the egg mixture back into the pan with the hot milk and cook, stirring continuously over low heat, until mixture is thickened and smooth, about 5 minutes. Pour into 4-ounce ramekins and cool in the refrigerator until chilled, about 1 hour.

Remove ramekins from the refrigerator and top with 2 teaspoons of sugar each. Place under broiler about 4 inches from the top and broil until deep dark golden brown.
