Nlgh ... Nothing stopping you from making this one! I live on my own, and do make this recipe for myself. Nice single servings that keep well in the frig!

KalamaQuilts ... Me too, raised on a dairy farm and stayed with the industry after marriage, so know the recipes to use up excess milk and eggs! For a while I had a flock of chickens, and when they were out of control, out came my egg recipes. Still have a high egg user recipe section in my recipe book!! :) My favourite is still Mincemeat-Custard pie!

Maple syrup baked custard! Wow! Made it last night in the hope that it might be kind of like the flan we used to have in Texas. It was just wonderful!! And the maple syrup instead of carmellized (sp?) sugar was superb. No sweetened condensed milk-no cream! Yay. Thank you so much. It will be on our table often.

This is my mothers recipe for custard..
2 eggs , beaten slightly
2 cups milk
2tbls sugar
Pinch salt, little nutmeg
mix lightly pour into 4 custard cups, bake in a pan of water.
350 degrees, 3/4 of an hour or until knife is clean...

Thank you Purl ... I'm glad that it made it to your make-this-again-list!
Just a little bit of Canada in that recipe, with the maple syrup!
It's so simple and yes, that maple staying "liquid" is a nice touch, when you turn it over.
Sometimes I add fruit when baking. With or without the syrup it turns out just fine with the fruit.

Hope you continue to ENJOY it in your cooking repertoire.


Has anyone else tried this recipe yet?

I make my mother's custard often. It is so easy. It's 2 C milk, 3 eggs, 1tsp vanilla, 2T sugar, pinch of salt, nutmeg or other spice to taste (I shake some pumpkin pie spice in). Mix with a hand egg beater until mixed. Pour in a bowl. Put bowl in pan with water in it. Bake 325 degrees for about an hour or until knife comes out clean in center. I usually double the batch and make it in two bowls.

I used my mother's recipe a couple times and I was the only one who liked custard. The hubs couldn't stand it. That's coming from someone who for a quick breakfast would put 2 raw eggs into a large glass of milk and have a pbj sandwich. He said custard was gross. I would be the only one eating it. The recipe I had is very similar to sash's. Very simple and very good.

Thank you ladies for your recipes. I love custard and I just cleaned dozens of eggs so I will trying a few of these.
