Fremgangsmåte

  1. 1
    Forvarm stekeovnen til 190°C (375°F), over- og undervarme. Kle en stekeplate med bakepapir.
  2. 2
    Brett deigplaten dobbelt og trykk den forsiktig sammen. Skjær ut 12 trekanter.
  3. 3
    Pensle med eggeplomme- og melkeblandingen, dryss over perlesukker og stek i 18-22 minutter til de er gyllenbrune. La dem avkjøles helt.
  4. 4
    Gni sukkeret sammen med sitronskallet. Rør det ut med eggeplommene, maisenna, frøene fra vaniljestangen og litt av melken til en glatt røre.
  5. 5
    Varm opp resten av melken sammen med den utskrapte vaniljestangen. Ta ut stangen, visp inn eggeblandingen og kok opp under stadig omrøring til kremen tykner. Rør inn sitronsaft og smør. Legg plastfolie helt inntil overflaten og la kremen bli helt kald.
  6. 6
    Rør den kalde kremen raskt glatt og ha den over i en sprøytepose.
  7. 7
    Del trekantene i to på tvers, sprøyt inn sitron- og vaniljekremen, legg på lokkene og dryss over litt melis.

Lemon Custard Triangles Questions

Lumps usually mean the egg yolk mixture wasn't fully smooth before it went into the hot milk, or the pan wasn't stirred constantly while thickening. Whisk the yolks, sugar, cornstarch and vanilla seeds with a little cold milk until completely smooth first, then whisk the hot milk in. If lumps still appear, push the finished custard through a fine sieve while it's warm, then stir in the lemon juice and butter.

Yes, puff pastry works and gives a crisper, flakier triangle, though it will be less soft and bready than croissant dough. Keep the same treatment: fold the sheet in half, press gently, cut 12 triangles, brush with the yolk-milk wash and add pearl sugar. Watch the oven closely, since puff pastry can colour faster than the 18-22 minutes given here.

The custard is the best make-ahead part: cook it a day early, press cling film directly onto the surface so no skin forms, and chill it. The baked triangles are best on the day they're baked, but they can be baked a few hours ahead and left uncovered at room temperature so they stay crisp. Only slice, fill and dust with powdered sugar shortly before serving.

Because they contain a milk-and-egg custard, filled triangles belong in the fridge in a covered container and are best eaten the same day. The pastry softens as it sits against the custard, so texture suffers by day two even if the flavour is fine. Let them stand a few minutes at room temperature before eating and dust with fresh powdered sugar, since the first dusting dissolves in the fridge.

Flat triangles usually come from dough that got warm and soft before baking - chill the cut triangles briefly if your kitchen is hot, and don't press the folded sheet harder than needed to join the layers. Leaking is a sign the custard was still too soft or the pastry was overfilled, so chill the custard fully until it's pipeable and add it in a restrained line rather than packing it in. Piping into the horizontally sliced halves rather than into a cut pocket also keeps the filling contained.
