Things You'll Need:
- 4 cups milk
- 6 large eggs
- 2/3 cups sugar
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
-
Step 1
Heat the milk for 2 or 3 minutes in the microwave. Whisk the eggs until smooth and add them to the milk.
-
Step 2
Add the sugar, salt and vanilla. Stir that into the milk and egg mixture until dissolved.
-
Step 3
Run the whole mixture through a strainer and stir again. This will give you a smooth, sweet, pudding-like treat.
-
Step 4
Pour the custard into small custard dishes, a casserole dish or a pie shell. Sprinkle the top with ground cinnamon or nutmeg, if desired.
-
Step 5
Bake your custard at 325 F. It's done when a knife or tooth pick inserted into the center comes out clean. Bake custard dishes for 30 minutes. You'll need about 60 minutes for a casserole dish or pie shell. Cool before serving.
-
Step 6
Vary the flavor of your custard by scooping caramel sauce, sliced berries or syrups on top. If your family enjoys pies, place the custard mix into a pre-baked pie crust for a quick treat.
