LEMON CUP CUSTARD
I got this new cookbook yesterday "Baking, From My House to Yours" by Dorrie Greenspan. It's chock full of lovely recipes. I made this last night and it's wonderfully rich with just a hint of lemon flavour. My husband really enjoyed it and so did I!

Steps:
- Put the milk and the lemon zest in a saucepan and bring just to the boil. Remove from heat, cover and set aside. Let sit for 30 minutes in order for the lemon flavour from the zest to infuse the milk.
- Whisk the eggs together with the sugar. Strain the infused milk through a fine sieve into a large measuring cup. (Reserve the strainer with the lemon zest for a bit later)Whisking the whole time add the infused milk to the beaten eggs a little at a time in order to keep the eggs from cooking. Strain the mixture through the reserved lemon zest in the strainer back into the pan. Stir in lemon oil if using.
- Place 6 large (3/4 cup size) custard cups in a large shallow roasting pan. Divide the custard mixture between cups. Fill the roasting pan with boiling water just until it comes halfway up the sides of the custard cups.
- Carefully, place in a pre-heated 160*C/325*F oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until they jiggle only in the centre when you tap the cups lightly. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

NO-BAKE LEMON CUSTARDS WITH STRAWBERRIES
Ultracreamy but still ethereally light, these individual custards are set with lemon juice rather than eggs, cornstarch or gelatin. They are thick and velvety, but not overly rich, with a bright, clean citrus flavor. Based on a British dessert called a posset, the key is to simmer the cream and sugar before adding the fresh lemon juice, giving the cream a chance to thicken slightly. In this summery version, the custards are served with a topping of syrupy, sugared strawberries and a sprinkling of freshly ground black pepper, which adds a gentle spicy note without overwhelming the fruit.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, combine cream, sugar, lemon zest and salt over medium-high heat. Bring to simmer, stirring frequently to dissolve sugar. Simmer vigorously until mixture thickens slightly, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Let sit until mixture has cooled slightly and a skin forms on top, about 20 minutes.
- Stir mixture, then strain through fine-mesh strainer into a measuring cup with a spout; discard zest. Pour mixture evenly into six 6-ounce ramekins or small bowls.
- Refrigerate, uncovered, until set, at least 3 hours.
- As the custards chill, prepare the strawberry topping: Toss strawberries and sugar in a small mixing bowl. Let fruit macerate at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until the sugar is dissolved.
- To serve, top each lemon custard with some strawberry topping and grind black pepper on top.

LEMON CUSTARDS
This is another one of my favorite recipes. Borrowed from one of my pastry-chef heros, Emily Luchetti, these lemon custards are about as perfect a custard as they come. Despite the heavy sounding ingredients, they are light and lemony and just wonderful. I usually serve them with a crisp cookie. They don't need any other accompaniment.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Place eight 6 oz.
- ramekins in a deep baking pan.
- Put the yolks, eggs, and sugar in a bowl and whisk until smooth.
- Stir in the lemon juice and the cream.
- Pour the mixture through a very fine mesh strainer, then ladle into the ramekins.
- Place the pan with the ramekins into the oven, then fill the pan with hot water about half-way up the sides of the ramekins.
- (It's easier to fill the pan when it's already in the oven).
- Cover the pan lightly with aluminum foil and bake for about 50 minutes.
- You can tell they are done when, if you gently shake the pan, the sides are firm but the center of each ramekin, about the size of a quarter, is still jiggly like jello (not liquid!).
- That's okay- I promise.
- That means they are perfect.
- Do not overcook, or your custard will taste like scrambled eggs.
- Remove the custards from the water bath and refrigerate overnight, but for at least 6 hours.
- As they chill, they will completely firm up.
- Before serving, let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- I like to serve these with a crisp cookie, like a gingersnap.
