Egg Custard Bake... YUM!

I'd say the texture was like flan. It's not cake-like with air holes, and it's not soupy like pudding either. When you cut a piece from the pan, it holds it's shape, even though wobbly.

Anyway, it's delectable on the tongue!

I made this last night from your recipe and made a sauce of butter, sugar, evaporated milk and vanilla to go over it and it reminded me of a flan! It was great, thanks for the recipe!!!

Margarine was used in the original recipe so there is no problem if you use it instead of butter.
I'm so glad you all enjoy this recipe!!!

I have a really dumb question. What can I substitute for bisquick? I don't buy it. I COULD I suppose, but would rather substitute flour and whatever else it contains if possible?

The recipes that Ive used in the past dont have any Bisquick or flour in them at all. You don't have to use it to make great custard.

I must have done something really wrong. It tasted like wet scrambled eggs with vanilla. It smelled GREAT, but yuck! What did I do???

This is very similar to a buttermilk pie I make. Just substitute buttermilk for the regular milk. Also to those having problems with collapsing custards, you may need a better pan. If you can find any of the old Anchor Hocking Fire King baking dishes, they are the best. I collect them. Whenever I see one at a second hand shop I buy it. The heat distribution in them is far superior to metal pans and the newer ceramic or glass pans.

FYI to the diabetics out there (I am one) you can use splenda to substitute for the sugar and calorie countdown milk (it's sugar free) to substutue for the whole milk. It doesn't taste as great as the unaltered recipe, but when you need a large amount of comfort food on a bad day, it will suffice.

This is a common recipe used to substitute for bisquick. If you have extra, store it in a ziplock bag.

4 cups of flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons of cream of tarter
3/4 cups of powdered milk

Horsejody, thanks for the Bisquick substitute recipe. I always wondered how to make my own mix.
