  • 1 liter of water
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 250 g sugar

Poor people’s dessert from Bamberg from 1805

Wash the oats thoroughly, heat them in a liter of water with the lemon zest, and reduce by one-third. Drain through a sieve and stir in the egg yolks (the original recipe calls for 15 egg yolks) and sugar while the liquid is still hot. Butter small molds or cups and fill them almost to the top with the liquid. Cook in a water bath at 150°C for about one hour. Pierce with a toothpick; if nothing sticks when removed, the flan is ready. Let it cool and serve upside down.
