Flan au citron (Lemon Flan) is a traditional Beninese recipe for a classic sweet custard-based flan flavoured with lemon zest that's cooked until set in a double boiler. Did not include cooling time and I am unsure of the servings. Ingredients:
100 g sugar |
6 tablespoons sugar |
1 teaspoon butter |
4 eggs |
700 ml milk |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
1 lemon, zest of |
Directions:
1. Heat together 3 tbsp sugar and 3 tbsp water until golden brown. Pour into a well-buttered flan mould.
2. Beat the eggs with the remaining 3 tbsp sugar until thickened, then add the 100g sugar along with the milk, cornflour and lemon zest.
3. Mix well and pour into the flan mould.
4. Cook in a bain-marie for 45 minutes until the flan thickens and sets. Allow to cool completely then serve.
