Springtime Baked Lemon Custard
Served warm or chilled, lemon custard is as delicate as the new buds of spring. The fresh lemon flavor and light, airy texture make the perfect ending to a spring day.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups hot milk (about 3 minutes on high in microwave)
- 1 tsp grated lemon peel
- 2 Tbs lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
Directions
- In a medium bowl, beat together eggs, sugar and salt until well blended. Stir in milk, lemon peel, lemon juice and vanilla. Blend well.
- Place four (6-ounce) custard cups or ramekins in an 8-x 8-inch baking pan. Pour about ¼ egg mixture into each custard cup. Place pan on center rack in preheated 350ºF oven. Pour very hot water into pan so it comes within ½ -inch of the top of the custard cups.
- Bake until knife inserted in center comes out clean, or about 30-35 minutes. Remove custard cups from hot water. Cool on wire rack about 5-10 minutes. Serve warm or cold. Refrigerate leftovers.
