    Caramel Custard


    Source of Recipe


    Southern Living


    List of Ingredients


    • 1 1/2 cups sugar, divided
    • 1/2 cup water
    • 3 large eggs
    • 2 egg yolks
    • 2 1/2 cups warm milk
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract


    Instructions


    1. Combine 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water in a heavy saucepan; cook over low heat 10 minutes or until sugar caramelizes, tipping pan to incorporate mixture. Pour evenly into 8 (4 oz.) custard cups.
    2. Whisk together eggs, egg yolks, and remaining 1/2 cup sugar until blended. Gradually add warm milk, whishing constantly; stir in vanilla. Pour mixture into prepared custard cups. Cover each with aluminum foil; place in a jellyroll pan. Add hot water to pan to a depth of 1/4 to 1/2 inch.
    3. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove custard cups from water; uncover. Cool in cups on wire rack. Cover and chill 3 hours.
    4. Run a knife around the edge of custard to loosen; invert each onto a dessert plate.


    Final Comments


    Custard can also be made in a 9-inch cakepan. Caramelize sugar in cakepan instead of saucepan.
