Cup Custard
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 quart milk
- Extract or flavoring
- Nutmeg or cinnamon
Beat the eggs and the sugar and milk and any extract or flavoring you like. Fill the custard cups and sift a little nutmeg or cinnamon over the tops. Set them in a oven heated to 350F at 350 degrees F in a shallow pan half filled with hot water. In about 20 minutes, try them with the handle of a teaspoon to see if they are firm.
*Judgment and great care are needed to attain skill in baking custard, for if left in the oven a minute too long, or if the fire is too hot, the milk will certainly whey.
