| Ingredients: | |||||
| 2 1/2 c. | milk | ||||
| 4 | eggs | ||||

| Directions: | |||||
|
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Scald the milk: Pour the milk into a medium-sized heavy-bottomed sauce pan (whole milk works best) and heat over medium to high heat just until the first tiny bubbles appear at the edge of the pan. In a large bowl or casserole dish, whisk together the eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Pour the milk in a slow, steady stream, while whisking rapidly, into the egg mixture. Spinkle the ground nutmeg over the top of the custard. Fill a 9 x 13 pan with an inch or two of hot water and place the casserole dish in the middle of it. Place the custard in the water-bath pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes. |
