Title: Natillas (Spanish custard) - with photo
Post by: Katya on January 15, 2012, 04:44:14 pm

Name of Recipe: Natillas

Number of People: 4 - 6

Ingredients:

3 large eggs
600g full-fat milk
130 g sugar
Peeled rind of 1 lemon (without white bits) - large pieces are ok
1 tsp vanilla essence
 
50 g  cointreau (optional)

Preparation:

Use butterfly

- Put eggs and milk into  *: and mix for 10 seconds, speed 3

- Add sugar, vanilla essence and lemon rind and cook for 7 minutes at 90 speed 11/2

- Add cointreau if using and mix for another 2 minutes, 90 speed 11/2 (you should cook for these 2 extra minutes even if you are not using cointreau)

- Strain into individual bowls (to remove lemon rind) or into one large bowl and leave to cool.

Tips/Hints:

This is a very refreshing dessert.   You can make it with 6 egg yolks rather than 3 eggs in which case you don't need to mix the egg yolks and milk separately at the beginning - just bung everything into the bowl.    I have not tried it this way.

I had originally sprinkled on cinnamon at the end, as in the photo but now think it tastes better without it

Thanks for the recipe Katya.  Tomorrow is going to be 39C so your custard sounds a nice change from icecream!!!!!!

Hope it works ok for you - I should have said it is meant to be quite runny.... but if it seems too runny for you, you can cook for another minute or so

Thanks. Another yummy one to try. Perhaps with some lovely stewed fruit.
