Ingredients

• 2 cups Sugar
• 1 cup Water
• 10 Egg yolks
• 1/4 cup Port wine
• 1 Lemon
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 1 tbsp Bacon fat

Steps

1. Caramelize half the sugar until amber and coat a pudding mold; work quickly, caramel waits for no one.
2. Boil the remaining sugar with water, lemon peel, and cinnamon into a syrup; cool to lukewarm.
3. Whisk in the yolks, port, and the traditional spoonful of bacon fat — it is the secret, not a gimmick.
4. Strain into the mold and bake in a water bath at 350 degrees 45 minutes until just set.
5. Cool, then chill 4 hours; the pudding firms into a sliceable custard.
6. Unmold onto a platter and let the caramel cascade; serve in thin slices.
