Delightful Baked Custard Food

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.

FARM FRESH SWEDISH BAKED CUSTARD

Steps:

• NOTE: Removing hot baked custard from a hot water bath is hard! Make it easy on yourself by using a canning jar lifter with rubber grips! They are easy to find in thrift stores, at your grandmothers, or at Target for less than $7.00. If you bake a lot of custard or can, this tool is indespensible!
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Fill tea kettle with enough water to fill a 9" x 13" pan, half way up with boiling water. Bring water to boil, then turn down heat. Butter the custard cups; mine hold 5 ounces of custard or between 1/2 cup to 2/3 cup custard and yields five custard cups. Place buttered custard cups into the 9" x 13" empty pan, set aside.
• Place the 2.5 cups of milk in a large saucepan, uncovered, over medium heat. Let the milk stand in the pan, without stirring, until a skin forms on top and it is scalded. Or, if this makes you uneasy, stir the milk and continue heating until small bubbles form along the edges of the pan. Remove from heat.
• Meanwhile, place the eggs and yolks in a large mixing container with a pouring spout. Beat or whisk briefly, only to mix, not until they are foamy or light. (This beats too much air into the custard)
• Gradually add the sugar, vanilla and almond extracts and salt, beating only until well mixed.
• Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, slowly add 1/4 cup amounts of the hot milk to the egg mixture, stirring gently. When 1 cup of warm milk has been added into the egg mixture, add the remaining milk and stir gently. This process is called "tempering", making sure that your eggs don't "scramble" in the pan from the heat of the milk!
• Strain the mixture into a measuring cup large enough to hold 4 cups of liquid. Straining removes any lumpy egg whites and bubbles from beating. Pour 1/2 cup to 2/3 cup custard mixture into the custard cups set into the pan. Shake the smallest amount of nutmeg over each top, only to decorate and provide a hint of nutmeg.
• Make sure that the tea kettle's water is HOT! Place pan with custard cups into the oven and carefully pour the hot boiling water into the pan, going up to 1/2 of the height of the custard cups.
• Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until a sharp knife inserted 1 inch into the middle of the custard comes out clean. Carefully remove the pan and place on a heat-proof surface. Using a jar lifter, lift each cup of custard out of the hot water and place on a wire rack to cool. Allow water in pan to cool, dump out.
• Serve warm, cool, cold. Plain or with topping of choice. Just enjoy it, however you please!
