Creamy Baked Milk Custard

Ingredients:

• 2 cups (500 ml) whole milk
• 4 large eggs
• 1/3 cup (65 g) granulated sugar
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt
• Ground nutmeg or cinnamon (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Warm the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until just steaming — do not boil.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt until well combined.
4. Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid scrambling.
5. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl (optional but makes for a smoother custard).
6. Pour into ramekins or a baking dish. Sprinkle lightly with nutmeg or cinnamon if desired.
7. Place the ramekins/dish in a larger baking pan and create a water bath by filling the outer pan with hot water halfway up the sides.
8. Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
9. Cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
