Custard

This is a classic recipe which is tasty and much loved !

Ingredients:

1 l milk
6 eggs
1 cup of sugar
1 vanilla

Method:

Whisk the eggs and sugar. Stir in milk and vanilla. Melt some sugar in custard cups or a baking tin – a teaspoonful of sugar to each cup. Pour the egg-and-milk mixture in the cups over the caramelized sugar. Place the cups in a pan with some water and bake in the oven. Be careful not to bring the mixture to the boil. Therefore add some cold water to the pan if necessary. If the mixture is brought to the boil, the custard will be riddled. Serve cold in a dessert plate. You may garnish it with vanilla ice-cream.
