Instructions: Break the eggs into a bowl, add the sugar and beat together. Add the milk, the lemon rind, cinnamon and cornflower. Pour into a buttered, rectangular tray and place in a cool to medium oven. It is done when it is golden-brown on top and you can test it with a knife or skewer that comes out clean. It is better cooked long and slow. Serve swimming in Miel de Palma, the Palm Honey sap from the palm trees that is typical of
La Gomera, but you can buy commercial bottles elsewhere, or substitute with maple syrup.

NOTE: If you are entertaining and want to add a typical appetizer to this menu, provide plates with slices of fresh white goats cheese (Editors note: Do white goats make different kinds of cheese than black goats?) and jamon serano (cured ham), if available, with a few olives and more crusty bread.

Simple things which can be picked at and shared by guests are the informal nature of all Canarian meals.
