Tips and Tricks
• Slicing the lemons paper-thin (a mandoline works best!) is the secret to making the citrus wheel topping tender, sweet-tart, and easy to bite through.
• Master the Slice: For clean, sharp edges, chill the pan in the fridge for at least 1 hour (or 20 minutes in the freezer). Wipe your knife blade with a damp paper towel between every single cut.
• Pat the Figs Dry: Fresh figs hold a lot of surface moisture. Gently blot the cut sides with a paper towel before placing them on the wet filling so they don't release extra water into the custard.
