Recipe Link: http://communities.msn.com/RecipesForNonCooks

List of Ingredients




2-1/2 cups milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 eggs

1/4 cup sugar

Pinch of nutmeg

Pinch of ground cinnamon

Butter or margarine, for greasing


Recipe



1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 1-quart ovenproof dish, then stand the dish in a roasting pan.

2. Pour the milk into a saucepan and stir in the vanilla extract; heat gently until almost boiling.

3. In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs and sugar together.

4. Slowly pour the hot milk onto the egg mixture, beating until smooth; strain into the prepared baking dish. Half fill the roasting pan with hot water.

5. Sprinkle the top of the custard with nutmeg and cinnamon. Bake for about 1 hour, until custard is set. (Press the tip of a knife into the center; if no milk rises the custard is cooked.)
