Preparation
Step 1
In a saucepan, bring the milk, cinnamon, lemon rind, and vanilla. Simmer for several minutes then discard rind and cinnamon stick. Set the flavored milk aside.
Step 2
In a bowl, whisk yolks with 3/4c sugar and the cornstarch until creamy. Gradually add to the milk, stirring constantly.
Step 3
Slowly heat the mixture until the mixture begins to thicken. DO NOT BOIL! Pour into shallow heat proof dishes and refrigerate several hours.
Step 4
Immediately before serving, pre-heat broiler and evenly distribute the remaining sugar on top. Use the broiler to caramelize the sugar. Remove and serve.
The cinnamon is optional. Any citrus fruit can be used in place of lemon.
