Lemon Pastel / Pastel De Limon image

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!
