Steps:
- For custard:
- Using vegetable peeler, remove peel from lemon in long strips (yellow part only). Combine half of lemon peel (reserve other half for another use), 1 1/2 cups milk, sugar, and cinnamon in large saucepan. Bring to boil; cover and remove from heat. Let steep 15 minutes.
- Whisk remaining 1/2 cup milk, cornstarch, and egg yolks in medium bowl to blend. Bring lemon-milk mixture to simmer. Gradually whisk yolk mixture into lemon-milk mixture. Cook over medium heat until mixture boils and thickens, stirring constantly (custard will be very thick). Strain into medium bowl. Press plastic wrap directly onto surface of custard and refrigerate.

Add scant 1/4 cup batter to skillet and quickly swirl batter to thinly coat bottom of skillet. Cook until golden brown on bottom, adjusting heat for even browning, about 1 1/2 minutes. Flip pancake over and cook until just cooked through and golden brown in spots, about 30 seconds longer. Transfer to parchment-paper-lined plate. Repeat with remaining batter, placing parchment paper between each pancake. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with foil and refrigerate.

Tips:
- Choose the right custard base. Whole milk or cream will give you a richer custard, while skim milk or low-fat milk will result in a lighter custard. You can also use a combination of milks to create a customized custard.
- Temper your eggs. This means slowly adding a small amount of the hot milk mixture to the beaten eggs, whisking constantly. This will help prevent the eggs from curdling when they are added to the hot milk.
- Cook the custard over medium heat. Stir constantly to prevent the custard from scorching or curdling. The custard is done when it has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Let the custard cool before serving. This will allow it to set and develop its full flavor.
- Experiment with different flavors. You can add vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, or other spices to create a variety of different custard flavors.

Custard is a versatile dessert that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you like it simple or fancy, there is a custard recipe out there for everyone. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give custard a try. You won't be disappointed!
