Ingredients
 4 large eggs
 2 ½ cups scalded whole or 2% milk
 ½ cup sugar
 1 tsp vanilla
 Generous dash of nutmeg and cinnamon
Optional
 ¼ cup raisins
Directions
1

Mix all ingredients in a saucepan. Stir gently and put on low to medium heat. Don’t boil. Place the mixture in a glass baking dish and put it in a pan of hot water. The water should come within a half inch or so of the top of the custard. This “water bath” is called a “bano de Maria” or “bain marie”—Mary’s bath – and helps to promote even cooking.

2

Bake the custard at 325 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick or small knife comes out clean. Cool and serve.
