Authentic home cooking from Spain, with US measurements. 
Crema Catalana
With the leftover custard from yesterday’s Swiss roll, I made this dessert. I got 3 servings, but if you make the full recipe, you’ll get about 6.

In a pot, combine 3 1/4 cups milk (750 ml) with the lemon peel, cinnamon stick, and vanilla sugar. Bring to a boil. Once it starts boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let it steep until it cools.

In a bowl, mix the remaining 1 cup milk (250 ml) with the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch.

Whisk well until smooth, then add the infused milk, straining it through a sieve.

Mix together and return to the pot. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly so it doesn’t stick, until it thickens.

Once thickened, turn off the heat, add the butter, and mix well until fully incorporated.
