Directions

• Using a whisk, mix milk, Sue Bee® honey, cornstarch and vanilla in a large saucepan on medium heat and bring to a simmer.
• Temper the eggs by whisking in some of the hot milk. Then add the eggs to the saucepan.
• Keep whisking over low heat until the mixture has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
• Pour the mixture through a sieve (to catch any egg that may have scrambled) into a clean bowl.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Add the lemon zest, water and sugar to a saucepan and cook over medium heat and bring to a boil.
• Remove zest, toss it in additional sugar and let dry until ready to use.
• Place Puff Pastry on a lightly floured cutting board and cut into 6 rectangles. Then place the rectangles on a parchment lined baking sheet and cook in a 400-degree oven 15 minutes, or until pastry has puffed up and tops are lightly browned.
• Carefully separate the puff pastry rectangles into 2 pieces each. (You’ll notice that there will be a natural middle spot).
• Use your fingers to depress a well in the bottom and fill each one with about ½ cup of the custard.
• Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of the candied lemon peel on top and cover with the top of the puff pastry.
• Garnish with a little more custard and serve.
