Lemon Pastel / Pastel De Limon

"I have wonderful past-memories of living on Spain's Balearic Islands. Food-wise, this Ibiza custard is one of them ... (Cunejo Aioli is another if anyone cares to pass on the recipe?) NOTE: This wonderful desert separates into two distinct layers as it bakes. Mmmmm ! Fantastico!"

  1. Absolutely fantastic! This is a creamy lemon curd custard, to put it bluntly, and it's heavenly! Sweet, tangy and creamy. Made it according to instructions, but for some reason I did not get the mentioned 2 layers, but it sure was good!

An older gentleman who enjoys cooking and is currently exploring the tastes and cooking methods of Oceania, the East and the Orient. I value time spent sharing food with friends. Is there a better feeling than the sublime mellowness and goodwill which, by candle-light, can blanket pleasant company at the end of a splendid meal?
