Ingredients

1 cup sugar
5 eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Fresh whipped cream, for garnish
Sprigs of mint, for garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Butter 8 (6-ounce) custard cups. In a small skillet over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup sugar with a couple drops of water, stirring constantly until it is a light brown syrup. Pour syrup into buttered cups. Place cups in baking pan for easy handling.

In large bowl with mixer at low speed, beat eggs, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup sugar until lemon-colored. Gradually beat in milk and vanilla. Once mixture has settled, with all air bubbles out, pour mixture into cups.

Pour hot water into baking pan to within 1-inch of top of cups. Bake 1 hour or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool, loosen custard with knife; invert.

Cook's Note: Try sprinkling ground nutmeg on each custard before baking.

Tasty
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

A great dessert. I followed the whole recipe, except I heated the cream and tempered the eggs (Slowly adding hot cream to... eggs while whisking vigorously ) It turned out just fine. Make sure to use hot water for the water bath.Read more
