Old Fashioned Egg Custard Recipe image

A big thank you to Zoe who recommended I use her grandmother's egg custard recipe to use up a bunch of our fresh eggs. I don't know about you, but I LOVE, LOVE,LOVE using old recipes. Mainly because the ingredient list is simple, and I typically have all the ingredients on hand.

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups milk {I used 2%}
6 large eggs
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees
  • Heat the milk in a large saucepan until bubbles form around the edges. Toss the eggs, sugar, and salt in a blender and give it a few pulses until nice and smooth.
  • Once the milk is hot, remove it from the stove top. Slowly add the milk into the eggs while whisking vigorously.
  • Once the milk and eggs are combined, stir in the vanilla.
  • Pour the custard mixture into a 9×13 casserole dish {or small custard cups} and sprinkle with freshly grated nutmeg. Place the casserole dish in a large roasting pan and fill the pan with enough water to reach about 1 inch from the top of the casserole dish.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups milk
2 eggs, beaten
½ cup white sugar
1 pinch salt
1 dash vanilla extract
1 pinch ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Whisk milk, eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla together in a bowl until completely combined. Pour egg mixture into 6 custard cups; sprinkle tops with nutmeg. Place cups in a baking pan and fill pan with enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the custard cups.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Make sure the milk and cream are at room temperature before combining them with the eggs. This will help prevent the custard from curdling.
  • Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before baking. This will remove any lumps and ensure a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Bake the custard in a water bath. This will help to prevent the custard from curdling and will also help it to cook evenly.
  • Do not overbake the custard. It is done when it is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  • Let the custard cool completely before refrigerating. This will help to prevent the custard from cracking.
