If you are looking for a simple, comfort-food type of dessert to finish off a meal, Baked Custard is a great option.
It is one of the few desserts that Hubby actually likes and has been known to beg for. I usually don’t mind, because it is so easy to make.
So without further ado…
Baked Custard Ingredients
Beat eggs until combined but not foamy, mix in sugar, flour, vanilla and milk.
Pour custard into cups.
Optional - top with cinnamon before baking.
You know the custard is done baking when a knife inserted comes out clean.
Baked Custard
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Beat eggs until well combined but not foamy. Add in remaining ingredients and mix well. Using an 8×8 glass baking pan, place in four custard cups (or ramekins or small oven-safe bowls). Pour boiling water into pan until it is standing about 1 inch.
Pour batter into custard cups and then carefully place pan in an oven preheated to 325 degrees. Bake about 35-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center of a custard cup comes out clean.
We like to sprinkle cinnamon on top of the custard just before baking. So good and so simple!
Enjoy!
Happy Entertaining!

Custard was one of the only things I could eat during my Chemo treatments and my Ryan learned to cook it for me every Friday. It was a comfort food I use to make for the boys when they were sick and it was something he thought of when I could or did not want to eat. It is now something we both sort of get a hankerin for every now and then. Thanks for the recipe we put nutmeg on ours but I think I will try the cinnamon too. Happy Halloween!
Hi Michele,
That’s awesome Ryan made it for you!
HappyHalloween and Happy Birthday to you! =)
