1. Preheat the oven to 325°. In a saucepan, bring to a boil about 2 cups water for the water bath. Lightly butter 4 (6-ounce) custard cups. In a small bowl, mix very well the sugar and corn starch. Set aside. In a medium bowl, with an electric beater or mixer, beat the eggs and egg yolks to combine.
2. Add the sugar and beat at medium-to-high speed until the mixture is smooth, pale and creamy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the orange juice gradually until very well mixed. Stir in the zest.
3. Pour the mixture into the prepared custard cups. Place the cups into a large baking pan and carefully pour boiling water around the cups to come about half way up on the outside of the cups. Bake about 40 minutes, or until the custards are almost set in the center and a thin knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the cups from the water bath and cool completely on a rack, then refrigerate about 6 hours before serving. Serve chilled, directly from the cups.
