Baked Custard
« on: February 10, 2012, 05:31:05 am »
Here is a Baked Custard recipe that I adapted for the TM that worked really well so I thought I'd share (forgot to take photo...sorry!)

BAKED CUSTARD - adapted from The Perfect Cookbook by David Herbert

SERVES - 4-6

INGREDIENTS
500g milk
250g cream
3 eggs
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla essence or extract
120g caster sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

PREPARATION
1.  Preheat the oven to 150°.
2.  Add milk and cream to TM bowl and cook for 6 minutes on 100° Speed 1.
3.  Set aside and rinse TM bowl.
4.  Add whole eggs, egg yolks, vanilla and sugar to TM bowl.  Mix for 10-15 seconds on Speed 4.
5.  Insert Butterfly.  Add the hot milk and cream mixture back to the egg mixture in the TM bowl and mix for 20-30 seconds on Speed 3.
6.  Transfer mixture to a 6 cup capacity ovenproof dish and sprinkle with the nutmeg.
7.  Stand the dish in a large baking tin and fill the tin with enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the dish.
8.  Carefully transfer to the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes or until the custard has just set - it should still wobble a little.

Tips/Hints:
This recipe can also be made into individual custards by pouring the mixture into six small ramekins and cooking for 20-25 minutes only (or you could steam in the Varoma although I haven't tried this yet).

Thanks Asha. We love baked custard.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.
