    Easy baked custard with nutmeg

    INGREDIENTS:
    2 cups milk
    2 eggs
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    2 tablespoons sugar
    nutmeg

    PREP:
    Beat together milk, eggs, salt, and sugar. Pour into custard cups; place cups in a pan with hot water nearly to top of custard line. Sprinkle each with nutmeg and bake at 325° for about 40 to 55 minutes, until custard is set.

    This really depends on depth of the baking dish. A knife inserted in center should come out clean. Makes 4 to 6, depending on size.

    Caramel Cup Custard

    1 1/4 cups sugar
    1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    3 eggs
    1 cup heavy cream
    3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a nonreactive saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar and lemon juice. Cook the sugar until it dissolves and turns smooth and brown, about 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and spoon 1 tablespoon of the caramel into 4 (6-ounce) ramekins. Place the ramekins in a baking pan. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, vanilla and remaining sugar together, until the sugar dissolves. Pour the egg/cream mixture into each ramekin. Fill the baking pan with enough water to reach three quarters of the way up the sides of the cups. Bake the custards for 1 hour, or until the custards are set. Remove the custards from the oven and cool. Refrigerate the custards for at least 4 hours. Loosen the custards and invert onto a small plate. Garnish with whipped cream and fresh mint.

    It tastes really good. Must try!!!!!!!!!
