Baked Custard

When we got married, Doug's sister, Karen, gave me a set of custard dishes and this recipe. She said I should learn to make it because it was one of Doug's favorite desserts. I did, and it is!!

4 cups scalded milk

1 cup sugar

6 - 8 eggs, beaten

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

Add sugar and salt to scalded milk.

Pour slowly over beaten eggs.

Add vanilla and stir well.

Pour into a 2-qt baking dish.

Sprinkle with cinnamon.

Place baking dish in a water bath and bake at 350 for about 1 hour, or until firm and knife blade inserted in the middle comes out clean.
