Maple Custard
By Yankee Magazine|Sep 19 2004|
I found the inspiration for this recipe in The New England Yankee Cookbook, published in 1939. I bought it at a used bookstore in Houston, Texas, and changed it up just a bit.
Yield
4 servings
Ingredients
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 cups whole milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
In a bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. Pour into 4 individual ramekins. Set ramekins in pan of hot water that comes halfway up sides of ramekins.
Bake at 350 degrees about 40 minutes, or until knife inserted in center of custard comes out clean. Serve warm or chilled.
This custard has a wonderful, delicate maple flavor and silky texture. YUM!
