there are few things more wonderful in life than warm freshly baked custard. Plain and simple it's what I define as luscious. It's silky and delicate with a hint of exotic spice.
G-ma's custard.
preheat oven to 325 F / 160 C
scald two cups milk on stove top
in a shallow ovenproof pan/pot bring water to slow simmer
meanwhile in a oven proof dish stir the following ingredients well to combine
3 eggs
pinch of salt
cap or less of vanilla
1/4-1/2 cup sugar
after scalding milk and combining other ingredients, slowly pour milk into the egg mixture, stir to combine.
place the oven proof dish into the hot water (making sure the water doesn't get into the custard mixture. Sprinkle with nutmeg or cinnamon. Place dish and pan in oven and bake for about an hour.
grandma served it warm with whip cream, but I like it just as is, no cream.
