EGG CUSTARD Ingredients: •2 eggs •2 cups milk •1/4 cup sugar •1 Tsp. vanilla extract Preparation: Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Set four 6 inch ramekins inside a deep baking dish, large enough to hold the cups and have enough room for a water bath. Heat about 4-6 cups of water to a boil and set aside while you assemble the custard.

In an electric mixer, beat the eggs and the sugar together on low speed until they just come together. Add the milk slowly, a splash at a time, while continuing to beat on low speed. Wait 5 seconds in between each addition. After doing this for 4 repetitions, add the rest of the milk. Add the vanilla extract.

Pour the mixture through a strainer into a pour-spout dish.

Pour the custard into the ramekins and top with a pinch of grated nutmeg. Before setting the baking pan in the even, pour the hot water in the baking pan around the ramekins to align with the level of the custard in the cups.

Bake for 40-45 minutes. Test with a small knife at 40 minutes. Remove and cool completely on a wire rack. Chill in the fridge overnight.
