Ingredients

  • 4 cups milk
  • 6-8 tablespoons sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 eggs
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Mix and heat milk, sugar and salt. Stir hot milk slowly into lightly beaten eggs. Add vanilla.
  3. Pour mixture into custard cups or 1 ½-quart baking dish. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon, nutmeg or both.
  4. Bake in a pan of hot water until custard is set, 30-45 minutes (longer when using a baking dish). When the point of a thin knife comes out clean, remove at once from hot water to keep from overcooking.

Tips & Notes

Adjust the cooking time to the size of your pan. Ramekins require less baking time than a larger baking dish.
