Served warm or chilled, lemon custard is as delicate as the new buds of spring.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs, beaten

- 1/8 tsp salt

- 1 tsp lemon peel, grated
- 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-oz) custard cups or ramekins in an 8 x 8-inch baking pan. Pour about egg mixture into each custard cup. Place pan on center rack in preheated 350F oven. Pour very hot water into pan so it comes within inch of the top of the custard cups.
