Jericalla
From 'Mexico The Cookbook' by Margarita Carrillo Arronte
A cross between a flan and a creme brulee, this traditional dessert originates from Guadalajara. It only needs a small amount of common ingredinets, making it especially easy to try and make at home.Ingredients
- 475ml milk
- 100g sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 6 egg yolks
Recipe
- Pour the milk into a medium saucepan, add the sugar and cinnamon, and bring to a boil over a medium heat; stirring until the sugar has dissolved completely.
- Boil for 5 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat and let cool.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Remove and discard the cinnamon stick.
- Put the egg yolks into a large bowl. Pour in some of the hot milk mixture, beating all the while with a wire balloon whisk. Then return the egg yolk and milk mixture to the pan with the milk, beat it well, and continue to cook until thickened.
- Strain and pour into ramekins, then cover with foil.
- Place the ramekins in a roasting pan filled halfway with hot water and bake for 1 hour.
- Top up the water, if necessary, then remove the foil and leave in the oven for an additional 15 minutes, or until browned.
- Remove the roasting pan from the oven and lift out the ramekins. Let cool, then chill in the fridge overnight before serving.
