Instructions

  1. Heat 800 ml of milk with the cinnamon stick and orange peel over medium heat, without letting it boil.
  2. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar until the mixture is pale.
  3. Add the flour and cornstarch, then dilute with the rest of the cold milk until you have a smooth paste with no lumps.
  4. Remove the cinnamon and peel from the hot milk, then pour it gently over the mixture while whisking.

  6. Add the vanilla and pour into a dish or individual bowls.
  7. Let it cool, then refrigerate for 3 hours before serving, dusted with cinnamon.
