my family reliably imform me that I once mad a baked custard and it was lovely..................apparently I did it in the oven and there was no pastry

so I've trawled the recipe books, and I can't for the life of me find a recipe

how would I do it d'ya think, just make a basic custard recipe and then bake it .......nutmeg on the top?...........maybe in a baine marie (is that how you spell it)....................................HELP

ooh I used to make that too, haven't made it for ages

BAKED CUSTARD
1 pt milk
3 eggs
2 tbsp caster sugar

Warm the milk in saucepan but do not boil
Whisk the eggs and sugar lightly in a bowl, pour on the hot milk, stirring all the time. Strain the mixture into a buttered ovenproof dish.
Sprinkle nutmeg on top and bake at 170C (325F) for about 45 min until set.

I have other recipes but this one should work

Oh Dom.................mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah ................................you ickle super dooper shiney star..............the kids will be soooooooooooooo pleased, it was requested for tonights pud

French version translated a la Dom
1/2 litre milk
3 eggs
80g sugar
50g sugar for caramel
vanilla pod

Bring milk to boil with vanilla . Beat the eggs and sugar together for at least one min pour boiling milk on eggs then let it rest . Whilst it's resting, prepare caramel: heat up the sugar and let it caramelise....When it's the right colour pour in mould - evenly...
Pour the eggy cream on it. Put mould in bain-marie - water mustn't be quite boiling...
Cook for 25 to 30mn...

I used to make it in my pressure cooker, got a good set too I like it but not with pastry. Funny that

Mmmmm used to make all sorts of puddings in my pressure cooker... One of my fav was treacle pudding....Now all I seem to do is cook stuff with courgettes in

I like me pressure cooker. I made a cake in it once and Madelaines. I should use it more often. I use the big pan to its most days

Now that Bags, really is the Devil's food (Egg Custard - yeeeeeeurghhhh!!!!)

OOOOooooooohhhhhh I love it!!

I'm with Impy

Am with the guys on this one

Ahhah... that'll be cos you haven't tasted it with a courgette filling

Bloody hell Ady. This is getting freakier I cant stand egg custard. It is truely 'sgustin'. We have so many similar dislikes and crop failure I am begining to think we are clones. Go on name some more (apart from arsnips)

By the way I love the puking cat it is persackily like my Merly-puss. He's always sick.

well I used recipe number one and everyone loved it..................allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll gone

They will be sleeping with basins beside the bed then

I'm another luuuurve egg custard vote I'm afraid. I used to get them on Saturdays as a treat from Henstock's when Dad picked up the loaves they always had on order... and usually a couple of cream buns for himself!!!

Nowadays it's Tesco's... not nearly as nice!

ps watch out - I'll be online again in the evenings now... have sorted the dead desktop problem by spending a lot of ££££ and have now got a shiny new toy. Hubby can't say anything cos he's worse than me!!!!

my sentiments exactly Jags

Sorry - am I being too vague even for me?
(What's the point in being an eccentric if you can't be vague occasionally?

Was away for most of weekend and brain was a bit fuzzier even than normal.

Back to work now...

Bet you guys would eat it if there was booze involved !!

Rum flavoured creme caramel is food for the Gods!

ooooooooooooooooooo did you have a nice weekend MB

Del - yes and no - church weekend away, so too much food, lots of good thought-provoking talks and discussions, but for folk like me who quail at crowds, it was scary, even more so because there were dozens of kids about. I just don't know how to relate to kids - never did even when I was one!

(Yes I was struggling a bit at the Bash)

I usually go to evening services cos there's no littlies and a lot fewer folk!!!

That and I can spend Sunday mornings on me plot

But I did use the Saturday free time to go to Enfield and hunt out the large numbers of garden centres at Crews Hill, so that was an experience. Though emphasis on garden centre rather than nurseries, so I still think Wallington has the edge (road with all nurseries on - used to live 5 mins walk away - when I didn't have a garden! Argh!)
