An easy, Amish Baked Custard Recipe that will make you feel like you are at Grandma's house again. Smooth & creamy, with just 6 ingredients.

Provided by Julie Clark

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups 2% milk
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a medium-size bowl, beat the eggs on medium-low speed for 30 seconds.
  • Add the sugar, salt and vanilla. Whisk gently until mixed.
  • Pour the milk into a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 1 minute increments until the temperature of the milk reaches 180 degrees.* Stir between each time interval to distribute the heat. Depending on the bowl and microwave you use, this will take about 5 minutes. Be sure not to let the milk boil.
  • Remove 1 cup of the heated milk and slowly drizzle it into the egg mixture, whisking the eggs quickly the entire time.**
  • Slowly pour the remainder of the milk over the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
  • Beat with a hand mixer for 20-30 seconds.
  • Pour the custard into 10 6-ounce ramekins, dividing the custard equally between the cups. There is no need to grease the ramekins.
  • Place the ramekins in a 10x15" baking pan with sides about as tall as the ramekins.
  • Sprinkle nutmeg overtop the custard.
  • Heat about 10 cups of water, not quite to boiling but very hot, on the stovetop or in the microwave.
  • Pour the hot water into the pan around the ramekins, being careful not to get any of the water into the custard itself.
  • Carefully place the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. The exact time may depend on the size and shape of the ramekins you use. The custard is done when you insert a knife into the center of a cup and it comes out clean.
  • Serve cold or warm as desired, with whipped cream.
  • Refrigerate any leftovers.

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.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients, especially the eggs and milk, for the best flavor and texture.
  • Proper Mixing: Whisk the eggs, sugar, and salt together until well combined. Avoid over-mixing, as this can result in a tough custard.
  • Infusing Flavor: Enhance the flavor of your custard by adding extracts, spices, or citrus zest. Experiment with different flavor combinations to create unique variations.
  • Scalding the Milk: Scalding the milk helps to thicken the custard and prevents curdling. Heat the milk until small bubbles form around the edges of the saucepan.
  • Slow and Steady Cooking: Bake the custard in a water bath at a low temperature to prevent curdling and ensure even cooking. The water bath also helps to create a creamy and smooth texture.
  • Chilling: After baking, allow the custard to cool completely before chilling it in the refrigerator. Chilling helps to set the custard and develop its flavor.
  • Serving: Serve the custard chilled, garnished with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg.
