Cook the milk, sugar, flour, vanilla, and lemon peel for 6 minutes, stirring until thickened.
Remove the custard from the heat and whisk in the egg yolks gradually.
Strain the custard and cool it for 20 minutes.
Roll the puff pastry into a log, slice it, and press the pieces into muffin tins to form cups.
Divide the cold custard among the pastry cups.
Bake the pastries at 240°C for 14 minutes, until the tops are spotted.
Rest in the tins for 8 minutes, then serve warm with cinnamon.
💡 Tip: Add the custard to the shells cold and heat the oven very well; the dark spots form from that temperature contrast.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm on small plates with cinnamon, alongside unsweetened espresso or Turkish coffee.
