Recipe: Custard




Custard is the best little "forgotten dessert" around. Our grandmothers made custard often, we should. It's easy, fast, healthy, inexpensive and very good. As desserts go, custard has an almost Zen-like simplicity. I use little glass custard cups, but if you don't have these, you can use a larger casserole dish.


Ingredients:
2 cups milk (lowfat milk is fine)
1/3 cup honey
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
A sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon

How to make this recipe:
Preheat oven to 325 F. Mix all the ingredients (except the nutmeg or cinnamon) very well with blender, stick blender, electric mixer or whisk. (I use my stick blender for this. It's fast to grab, use and wash.) Pour mixture into four custard cups or a casserole dish. Sprinkle lightly with nutmeg or cinnamon. Place the dish or cups in a baking pan of hot water. The water should be approximately one inch deep. Bake about 45 minutes (little custard cups) to one hour (larger casserole) or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool, then refrigerate.
