Ingredients - Preparation Method:

4 eggs 6 tablespoons sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 3 cups hot milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Freshly grated nutmeg Preheat the oven to 325F. In a bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a whisk. Stir in the sugar and salt. Add the hot milk gradually, stirring constantly. Add the vanilla. Strain. Pour the filling into 6 custard cups or a 1-quart baking dish. Set the cups or a baking dish into a shallow pan at least 2 inches deep. Sprinkle the custards with nutmeg. Pour 1 inch of hot water around the custard cups or baking dish. Bake individual custards for 45 to 50 minutes; bake the large baking dish for 1 to 1 1/4 hours. The custard is done when a knife inserted 1 inch from the outer edge comes out clean. The center will still be soft. Remove the custards from the hot water and place in 1 inch of cool water to stop the cooking process. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Custard is delicious served with maple syrup or fresh fruit.
