Mum's Baked Custard Recipe

This is a real favourite in my house. We used to have to make two of these: one for my dad, and one for the rest of the family! I guarantee it tastes like home.

Mum's Baked Custard Recipe

Ingredients:

2 free range eggs
1 Tbsp sugar
dash of vanilla essence
2 cups of milk
handful of sultanas
nutmeg (to dust over)
water in a tray

Method:

1. Combine eggs, sugar and vanilla in an oven-proof dish and beat together.

2. Add in 2 cups of milk and combine.

3. Add the handful of sultanas (these will sink to the bottom and make a nice base).

4. Dust the top of the custard mixture with nutmeg (to taste).

5. Place the dish in a "water bath" (tray of water) to prevent the milk curdling

6. Bake in a 180*C (350*F) oven for 45-60mins. Serve hot!

NOTE: can be eaten the next day cold

Rating: 5!!
