Lemon Pastel Pastel De Limon

---

I have wonderful past-memories of living on spain's balearic islands. Food-wise, this ibiza custard is one of them ... (cunejo aioli is another if anyone cares to pass on the recipe?) note: this wonderful desert separates into two distinct layers as it bakes. Mmmmm ! Fantastico!
