Baked Custard
2 cups milk
2 large eggs
⅓ cup sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon vanilla
nutmeg
Start the oven at 325 degrees.
Place the milk in a sauce pan, and heat over medium heat to scalding. (Just before the milk comes to a boil there will be a crinkly film over the top. This is scalding.)
While the milk is heating, beat the eggs slightly in a medium sized bowl. Mix in the sugar, salt and vanilla. Pour the scalding milk into the egg mixture, stirring slowly.
Pour into 6 custard cups, and sprinkle just a little nutmeg over the top. Set the custard cups in a large shallow pan of water. Bake until a silver knife stuck in the center of the custard comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
