A recipe from TOH, this makes two servings of creamy, silken-textured custard with a delicate flavor. It is very simple to prepare, and the brown sugar gives just a hint of caramel. This recipe is formulated for 2 servings; cooking time would need to be increased for larger amounts. Ingredients:
1 egg |
1 cup milk |
3 tablespoons brown sugar |
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/8 teaspoon salt (optional) |
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, beat (can use a hand mixer) first five ingredients until blended.
2. Pour into two ungreased 6-oz. custard cups.
3. Sprinkle with nutmeg, if desired.
4. Place cups in a 9-in. square baking pan.
5. Fill pan with hot water to a depth of 1 inch.
6. Bake, uncovered, at 350F for 30-35 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
