Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 whole large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup dark amber or Grade B maple syrup
2 tablespoons granulated maple sugar (see cooks' note, below)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
Special Equipment
a 13- by 9-inch baking pan; 6 (6-oz) custard cups or ramekins

Steps:

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
Whisk together all ingredients in a large bowl until sugar is dissolved, then pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a 1-quart glass measure. Divide custard evenly among cups, then transfer cups to baking pan. Bake in a hot water bath , pan covered loosely with foil, until custards are just set and a knife inserted in center of one comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.
Carefully transfer cups to a rack and cool to warm, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your custard cups.
Make sure your oven is preheated before you bake the custard cups. This will help them to cook evenly.
Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeating will make the custard cups tough.
Bake the custard cups until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and rubbery.
Let the custard cups cool completely before serving. This will help them to firm up and develop their full flavor.
