Custard Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
Prepare the Lemons
Zest and juice the lemons, setting the zest aside. You should have about 1/4 cup of lemon juice.
Make the Custard Mixture
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and salt until well blended. Gradually add the milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
Add the Butter and Lemon Zest
Melt the butter and stir it into the custard mixture along with the reserved lemon zest.
Bake the Custard
Pour the mixture into a baking dish. Place the baking dish in a larger pan filled with hot water, creating a water bath. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 40-45 minutes, or until the custard is set but still jiggles slightly in the center.
Cool and Serve
Remove the custard from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, sprinkle the top with powdered sugar before serving.
