Whisking hot sugar syrup into the egg and milk mixture gives these custards a wonderfully smooth creamy texture. They are simply flavoured with lemon and make a delicious dessert served with shortbread biscuits.

Ingredients

  • 200 g/7 oz/1 cup caster (superfine) sugar
  • 200

Method

  1. Put the sugar and water in a heavy pan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved.
  2. Increase the heat and boil the sugar solution rapidly until it reaches 107°C/225°F on a sugar thermometer, or when a few drops added to a cup of cold water form a fine thread.
