BAKED CUSTARD



Baked Custard image

This is a snap to make: you do no more than heat some milk with a vanilla pod, if you have one, and then beat the milk into some eggs and sugar. I don't split the pod, much as I love the sight of those aromatic little black seeds; I like the vanilla taste here to be delicate rather than perfumed. Certainly it's fine to use a good quality vanilla extract instead. The custard must be cooked in a bain-marie or water bath. You place the dish of custard in a shallow baking dish. Fill this second dish with enough boiling water to come about halfway up the sides of the custard dish. The water bath stops the custard from splitting and keeps the texture perfectly silky and smooth.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 cups whole milk
1 vanilla bean or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
Freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Fill a teakettle with water, and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine milk and vanilla bean, if using. Heat just until warm, then remove vanilla bean, and reserve for another use. If not using bean, add vanilla extract after milk is heated.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, yolks and sugar. Pour in vanilla-infused milk, whisking until smooth. Strain mixture into a pie plate of 4 to 5 cups capacity (about 9 inches in diameter). Sprinkle with nutmeg.
  • Place pie plate in a large shallow baking dish, and fill with boiling water to come halfway up side of pie plate. Place in oven and bake until custard is set, about 1 hour. Remove baking pan from oven, and transfer pie plate to a rack to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve while slightly warm, preferably about 30 minutes after removing from oven.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 egg
1 c milk
3 Tbsp sugar
3/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • 1. In a bowl, lightly beat the egg. Add milk, sugar, vanilla and salt. Pour into 2 ungreased 6-oz. custard cups. Sprinkle with nutmeg.
  • 2. Set in a pan containing 1/2 to 1 inch of hot water. Bake at 350^ for 35 minutes or til set.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh eggs: Fresh eggs are essential for a smooth and creamy custard. Check for eggs that have a clean, uncracked shell.
  • Use whole milk: Whole milk will give your custard a richer flavor and texture than low-fat or skim milk.
  • Strain the custard: Straining the custard after it has been cooked will remove any lumps and ensure a smooth texture.
  • Do not overcook the custard: Overcooked custard will be tough and rubbery. The custard is done when it has set but still has a slight wobble to it.
  • Chill the custard before serving: Chilling the custard before serving will allow it to set completely and develop its full flavor.
  • Serve the custard with your favorite toppings: Custard can be served with a variety of toppings, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, or nuts.

Conclusion:

Baked custard is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a simple recipe that can be easily made at home with just a few ingredients. With a little practice, you can make a perfect baked custard every time.
