Ingredients
For the Cream:
- 300ml milk
- 1 egg yolk
- 10g vanilla sugar
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
For the Batter:
- 2 eggs
- 100g sugar
- 100ml sunflower oil
- 300g flour
- 10g baking powder
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 80g peaches in syrup, diced
Directions
To Make the Cream:
- Heat the Milk: In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
- Mix Egg and Sugar: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, vanilla sugar, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and cornstarch until smooth.
- Combine and Cook: Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a custard-like consistency.
- Cool the Cream: Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
To Make the Batter:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
- Beat Eggs and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the 2 eggs and 100g sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add Oil: Gradually add the sunflower oil while continuing to beat.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Add Zest and Peaches: Stir in the lemon zest and diced peaches in syrup.
To Assemble:
- Fill Muffin Cups: Fill each muffin cup halfway with the batter. Add a spoonful of the cooled cream to the center of each muffin cup.
- Cover with Batter: Cover the cream with more batter until the muffin cups are about 3/4 full.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
