Side Pannel
Lemon Caramel Custard
Ingredients List
- 1 1/2 c Sugar
- 1 pn Cream of tartar
- 3 1/2 c Milk
- 1 c Heavy cream
- 5 lg Eggs
- 5 lg Egg yolks
- 2 tb Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tb Lemon zest
- 1 ts Vanilla
Directions
In a small heavy saucepan, combine 3/4 cup of sugar, cream of tartar, and
1/4 cup water. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar is
dissolved. Boil the syrup, covered, for 1 minute. Remove the lid and boil
the syrup, undisturbed, until it begins to turn golden. Continue to boil
the syrup, swirling it and tilting the pan, until it is deep golden
caramel. Pour the caramel into a 9x5 loaf pan, tilt the pan to coat the
bottom and sides, and let it cool.
In a large saucepan, scald the milk with the cream over moderate heat.
In a large heatproof bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg yolks , and
the remaining sugar, until the mixture is light and frothy. Add the scalded
milk in a slow stream, stirring constantly, and stir in the lemon juice,
zest, and vanilla. Set the pan in a larger deeper baking pan and strain
the custard mixture into the loaf pan. Cover the loaf pan with heavy-duty
foil and add enough hot water to the larger pan so that it reaches 2/3 of
the way up the outside of the loaf pan.
Bake the custard in the middle of a preheated 325f oven for 80 minutes.
Remove the loaf pan from the larger one and remove the foil.
(The custard will not appear set in the middle but it will set as it
cools.)
Let the custard cool and then chill it, covered, overnight. Run a thin
knife around the edge of the custard, invert a serving plate over it and
invert the custard onto the plate.
