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

Steps

20-30 minutes

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

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

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

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?
