Does anyone have a recipe for a good egg custard?
BAKED EGG CUSTARD 4 eggs 2 1/2 c. milk 1-2 c. sugar Vanilla Nutmeg Place all ingredients in a saucepan. Beat together. (The secret of this custard is to beat gently until everything is just thoroughly mixed). Heat the mixture until hot, but not boiling. Place in baking dish, sprinkle more nutmeg over the top if desired and bake in a 325 degree oven for 40 minutes. EGG CUSTARD 2 c. milk 1/4 to 1/2 c. sugar 1/8 tsp. salt 3 egg yolks 1/2 tsp. vanilla 1/8 tsp. nutmeg (opt.) Scald milk with sugar, salt and nutmeg. Pour over beaten yolks, add vanilla and pour custard into baking dish or individual molds. Place molds in pan of hot water in moderately slow oven until set. To test, insert silver knife or spoon. If custard does not adhere to it, it is ready to be removed from oven. Chill and serve.
