A simple to make, not too sweet dessert. An old-fashioned comfort food.
Ingredients Four large eggs
2½ cups scalded whole or 2% milk ½ cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla
Generous dash of nutmeg and cinnamon ¼ cup raisins (optional)
Directions 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.
Bake the custard at 325 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick or small knife comes out clean. Cool and serve.
