Fail-Proof Egg Custard Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups milk
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Ground nutmeg or caramelized sugar for topping (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a medium saucepan, warm the milk over low heat until just hot but not boiling.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to prevent curdling.
- Strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove any lumps.
- Pour the custard into individual ramekins or a baking dish.
- Place the ramekins in a larger baking pan and pour hot water around them until it reaches halfway up the sides (water bath method).
- Bake for 40–50 minutes or until the custard is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Optionally, sprinkle ground nutmeg or caramelized sugar on top.
