Ingredients: | 1-1/2 c cream
1/2 c sugar 3 eggs + 1 yolk 1/8 tsp saffron powder 1/2 c blanched almonds, blended fine with 1/2 c water 1/4 tsp salt |

Preparation: | Bake in little coffyns 2" deep. Bake the shells first at 425 deg F until
they just begin to brown, then reduce the heat to 325 deg F. Fill the shells with the custard and bake again for 30-35 min, until the custard is set and the shells are golden brown. |
||
Notes: | I used a mixture of cream and thick almond milk for my kitchen test; at
the actual feast, we ran low on almonds, so used less almond milk, and it worked fine anyway. Expansion to serve 130: 1 gal cream, 5 c sugar, 5 c almonds, 33 eggs (24 + 9 yolks), 4 c water, 1 tsp saffron, 2 tsp salt. |
