PREPARATION AND COOKING: Heat oven to 325F. Grate 1 teaspoon lemon
zest. Squeeze 1/2 cup lemon juice. Whisk in sugar, egg, and yolks,
then whisk in cream until sugar dissolves. Pass mixture through a
strainer; stir in zest.
Put six 1/2-cup pots de creme or souffle dishes in a deep baking dish.
Divide the lemon mixture evenly between the pots. Put dish in the
oven and pour in hot tap water to come within 1/2 inch of the top of
the pots. Bake, uncovered until the custards are just set in the
centers, 35 to 40 minutes. Carefully remove pots from the water and
set aside to cool completely.
SERVING: Dust surface of custard with confectioners' sugar and
garnish with candied violet.
Makes 6 servings.
