This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe is hosted by, Bridget of the blog, The Way the Cookie Crumbles. Bridget chose Dorie’s recipe for Lemon Cup Custard. At first this sounded amazing to me as I am a lover of all things lemon, but after I headed over to the P&Q I was contemplating sitting this week out. Some of the TwD members said that this was really “eggy” I am not a huge fan of eggy desserts and flan has only crossed my lips once. I do however love creme brulee and this recipe seemed similar, so I figured I would simply cut it in half and go with it! This recipe could not be easier and the lemon aroma was simply intoxicating. I did add the zest from a whole lemon to the halved recipe along with 1/8 teaspoon of pure lemon extract. The end result? I would definitely file this under “eggy“…I did not love it; honestly, I did not even like it, but I am glad I made it! That is what TwD is all about for me, trying things I typically would not, even if they wind up in the trash instead of our bellies! I am sure some custard lovers would swoon over this dessert…so try it for yourself and let your taste buds do the talking!
For the recipe head over to Bridget’s blog or turn to page 387 in Dorie’s Book. You can also check out more variations of this custard by visiting the TwD blogroll. 
I agree with you- TWD is all about baking through the book, whether we like the recipe at first or not. Nine times out of ten, Dorie’s recipes are amazing, so why not try them all?
Great looking custard cuz you have the same flatware as me!!! World Market? hehehehe. I love them!
Your custard came out great good job! I skipped this weeksn the eggy comments scared me away :}
This looks lovely. And the spoon too ;-) Sorry you don’t like it but the pictures looks really amazing !

Seems like eggy is the consensus for this dessert. However, you have an awesome attitude about it! Plus, your pics turned out beautifully!
Absolutely gorgeous pictures. Sorry you didn’t like it but at least you made it and gave it a shot!
It was definitely not the most popular recipe, that’s for sure. But like you said, if we don’t try, we’ll never know.
Well, it looks lovely. Sorry it wasn’t good for you.
It looks fabulous! I didn’t like it, either. Oh well…
Your custard looks gorgeous. Beautiful pictures. Too bad you didn’t like it. Here’s to next week!
