Hi all
I need an old fashioned egg custard recipe. My mom used to make it, and I never got the recipe.
I love custard!!

Here's the one my mom shared with me recently. It's not as sweet as I thought it would be. Maybe a minor tweek here and there. But, it's still really good.

2 cups whole milk (warmed, but not burned or boiled so it doesn't cook the eggs)

3 large eggs

1/3 cup sugar

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla (I use pure vanilla for better flavor)

1/8 teaspoon nutmeg


Start the oven first so the mixture doesn't have to cool at all. While the milk is warming on the stove, I whip the eggs and add the other ingredients. Add the milk slowly to the egg mix, while whipping.

425* oven 22 minutes (mine always take longer, you may need to adjust the time) Use the knife test for doneness.

Here is the Custard recipe...Sorry I did not get it posted sooner. I have been very busy since we have returned home. I have so much to catch up on...And to top it off my daughter has come down with the flu which is VERY bad for my husband who just had a stem cell transplant...

But I am so Thankful to be back home!

This kinda sounds more like vanilla pudding, maybe?

Well

...
My family has made this "Custard" recipe my entire life and it is my great grandmothers recipe...It is made every Christmas. We don't make egg nog we make custard...This is OUR family's recipe for custard not vanilla pudding...you drink it like egg nog. It is very rich and creamy.
