Ingredients

  • 200 g Fine vermicelli pasta (angel hair)
  • 1.2 L Whole milk
  • 200 g Sugar
  • 5 Egg yolks
  • 1 Lemon zest (large strip)
  • 1 Cinnamon stick
  • for dusting Ground cinnamon

Method

  1. Break vermicelli into short pieces. Cook in boiling water 2-3 minutes until al dente, drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
  2. In large pot bring milk to boil with lemon zest and cinnamon stick. Add drained vermicelli and sugar. Simmer gently 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until pasta absorbs milk and mixture thickens.
  3. Remove lemon zest and cinnamon stick. Whisk egg yolks in bowl. Temper with 2-3 ladles of hot milk mixture while whisking constantly. Pour tempered yolks back into pot, stir continuously over very low heat 3-5 minutes until custard-like (do not boil or eggs will curdle).
