Baked Custard Recipe 4

Ingredients for Baked Custard

• 4 cups scalded milk
• 4 eggs
• ¼ cup honey or sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla flavoring
• A few grains of salt

Instructions

1. Beat the eggs slightly.
2. Add vanilla, sugar and salt, pour in gradually the partly cooled milk, and mix well.
3. Strain and pour into oiled molds or a baking pan.
4. Set into a pan of water and bake in a slow oven until set, which may be determined by running the point of a knife through the custard; if the knife comes out clean, the custard is done.
5. It is very important that the water surrounding the custard does not quite reach the boiling point, or the custard will be watery.
6. Eggs and milk in combination must be cooked at a low temperature.

8. Prepare and bake exactly the same as above, except that 3 eggs only are used, in the place of 4.
