Amish Baked Custard

 

Ingredients:

4 large eggs

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

3 cups whole milk, heated until warm

Ground cinnamon for topping

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and nutmeg until well combined.

Gradually add warm milk to the egg mixture, stirring continuously.

Pour the custard mixture into the prepared pie dish. Sprinkle the top lightly with ground cinnamon.

Place the pie dish in a large baking pan and add hot water to the baking pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the pie dish (water bath).

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Remove from the oven and water bath, and let cool on a wire rack. Once cool, refrigerate until fully chilled.

Serve this Amish Baked Custard as a rich, creamy dessert, perfect for a comforting finish to any meal.
