Spanish natilla

[JeremyVile]

Its similar to custard but thinner and when i've had it in restaurants its served ice cold with some kind of syrup drizzled on top and sprinkled with either cinnamon or nutmeg (i can never tell which is which!!)

Anyone know how to make this?

bump - because I want it too.

Bump for me and Tapster!!

Ingredients :
8 egg yolks
1 litre of milk
200 g sugar
Big spoon de Maizena (thikener)
1/2 cinamon stick

Recipe:
Reserve a cup of milk and put the rest ot boil with the cinnamon stick.

Beat the egg yolk with the sugar.

Dissolve Maizena in the milk cup and add the egg yolk mixed with the sugar.

When the milk is been boiled, take the cineammon stick and add the egg yolks without stopping removing a wooden spoon.

Put throuhg a sieve and put it again on the hob until it thickens (without boling)

IMPORTANT:
avoid the natillas boiling in the last step!

cor, i love natillas.
ill never be arsed to make it tho.

I am presuming maizena is cornflour? Thats alot of egg yolks. Now dreaming of the ones you get in the chiller cabinets in spain...Not the same but the chocolate ones are delicious!

my lovely housekeeper makes them for hubby... she is a brill cook!
