Comfort Food Baked Custard

BAKED CUSTARD RECIPE {EASY AMISH RECIPE}

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In a medium-size bowl, beat the eggs on medium-low speed for 30 seconds.
• Add the sugar, salt and vanilla. Whisk gently until mixed.
• Pour the milk into a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 1 minute increments until the temperature of the milk reaches 180 degrees.* Stir between each time interval to distribute the heat. Depending on the bowl and microwave you use, this will take about 5 minutes. Be sure not to let the milk boil.
• Remove 1 cup of the heated milk and slowly drizzle it into the egg mixture, whisking the eggs quickly the entire time.**
• Slowly pour the remainder of the milk over the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
• Beat with a hand mixer for 20-30 seconds.
• Pour the custard into 10 6-ounce ramekins, dividing the custard equally between the cups. There is no need to grease the ramekins.
• Place the ramekins in a 10x15" baking pan with sides about as tall as the ramekins.
• Sprinkle nutmeg overtop the custard.
• Heat about 10 cups of water, not quite to boiling but very hot, on the stovetop or in the microwave.
• Pour the hot water into the pan around the ramekins, being careful not to get any of the water into the custard itself.
• Carefully place the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. The exact time may depend on the size and shape of the ramekins you use. The custard is done when you insert a knife into the center of a cup and it comes out clean.
• Serve cold or warm as desired, with whipped cream.
• Refrigerate any leftovers.
