Description

Crema catalana — the Spanish equivalent of crème brûlée (with the specific claim that it predates the French version by centuries) — uses milk rather than cream and is thickened with cornstarch in addition to egg yolks. The result is a slightly less rich but more delicate custard with the characteristic lemon and cinnamon aromatics of the Catalan tradition.
