I can't digest sugar or vanilla, so I added a little salt and it makes custard good for me -- and maybe, you, too.

4 servings
  1. 2eggs
  2. 1/2 pinthalf and half
  3. salt

Cooking Instructions

20-30 minutes
  1. 1

    Mix ingredients with a fork or whip. Some say to filter the egg mixture, but I let the egg solids fall off the fork/whip away from my mixture.

  2. 2

    Pour into 4 custard cups on a pan deep enough to hold water up to at least ¼ height of the cup.

  3. 3

    Heat water and pour -- hot, not boiling water -- on pan around cups. I prefer a big oven for custard so I don't make a mistake with the hot -- not boiling -- water. But I've made it many times in a toaster oven.

  4. 4

    Cook at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes, (maybe 400 in a toaster oven) until a knife inserted into custard comes out clean. They'll brown on top.

  5. 5

    When you remove from oven, put ice cubes into water to cool it. Wait a bit before touching and a little more before trying them. They go down easy, but I take it easy because they're eggs and cream, don't you know?
