Steps:
- Place the milk, cinnamon stick, salt and lime peel in a heavy saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and allow to cool, letting the spice and lime steep in the milk.
- In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar and the dissolved cornstarch until blended well.
- Discard the cinnamon stick and lime peel and combine the infused milk with the egg yolks in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. When the mixture thickens to soft-custard consistency, turn the heat off and add the vanilla. Pour into a large dessert dish (like a 7-inch souffle dish) or 4 individual 1/2-cup dessert ramekins and chill.
- Serve sprinkled with ground cinnamon.

NATILLA - CUBAN CUSTARD
Another of my grandmother's recipes. We would eat this plain, as creme brulée, with fresh fruit, or used it as a filler for cake. I have translated this from a Spanish recipe, so bear with me if the wording is strange. I am guesstimating on the time as I have not made this myself in 10 years--my grandma always made it for me!
