- Old Fashioned Baked Custard | Old School Recipes #9
This Easy Baked Egg Custard is not only a delicious comfort food but it is also a great way to use up milk! It is a rich, smooth and creamy custard that requires just a few ingredients. This is a recreation of my Great Grandma's recipe that my mom used to make when I was growing up. I didn't have the recipe in front of me so I made it based off of memory and it came out great!
#oldschoolrecipes #oldfashionedbakedcustard #eggcustard
Ingredients:
6 eggs
4 cups milk
2/3 cup sugar
1-2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
nutmeg
cinnamon
Whisk eggs together in a large bowl. Add in salt, vanilla and sugar and mix together well. Heat milk and slowly pour into egg mixture while stirring. Pour into oven safe dish (I used two crocks). Sprinkle with nutmeg and cinnamon. Put about an inch of hot water in the bottom of another oven safe dish to create a water bath. Place dish with custard in the water bath and bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
I almost cried when I saw this. When I was a little kid we would beg my Mom to make this.
It was an expensive dessert, she used 12 eggs in her recipe for a big pot of it. It was so good and I'd ask for this rather than a cake for my birthday. The recipe was all in her head, like most of her great recipes. Unfortunately, she was diagnosed with breast cancer that had spread and she passed away. I lost so many recipes. Her homemade cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving and Christmas. All the almond cookies. But what hurt the most was the Egg Custard. Every restaurant that said they had it either had rice in it or tapioca. NO.
YOUR RECIPE IS EXACTLY WHAT SHE MADE. No nutmeg, no cinnamon. Just pure pristine egg custard. When you spooned it and it giggled and left those waves in the custard I knew I finally found it. I STILL have her custard pan. Praying some day I would find the same recipe. 59 years later I have it. I wish my Dad was still alive to eat it with me. He passed at 95.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Now I need a tissue.
I loved reading this, thank you for sharing. I hope it tastes like you remember❤️
When we used to "Go To Work On An Egg" days...
Just what I'm craving. Depressed me brought me here. And it's baking now can't wait to eat the whole thing by myself. Thank you
I hope you enjoy it Jennifer. I could eat the whole thing myself too!😁
Lol... me too!
I’m exactly the same. I find cooking helps immensely with my mood .
Custard is in the oven as I speak.
Hoping it’s edible 🙏
Ditto
Best comment ever!
Alicia, this brought tears to my eyes, FINALLY, someone who knows and understands what a baked egg custard means. I'm probably too old, but if anyone remembers Horn & Hardart, they will recall the egg custard in those little windows...in later years you could buy prepackaged little custard cups from this restaurant. We loved egg custard...good for kids and old ladies like me. Sending you love & hugs for the memories, gonna make this asap.
Thank you so much! I just do it the way my mom and grandma did and it is good stuff. I'm not familiar with Horn & Hardart but it sounds like good memories from there custard😊I hope you enjoy, thanks for watching!💛
My grandmother made egg custard in a pre-made pie crust. She sprinkled a powder on top but it wasn’t cinnamon I don’t think. It was so good. I wish she was alive to make it again. I’m going to try to find her recipe. I’ve got them somewhere.
I remember Horn and Hardarts``
They had great coffee
Memories of custard at Gene Comptons.
Mine's in the oven now!
I remember Horn & Hardart ! Their tapioca pudding with nutmeg was wonderful, as was their custard pie !
My mom used to make custard like this and would save half of the egg whites to make a meringue for the top and she would put left over rice in it and called it rice pudding :) she would let us eat it in the winter while it was still warm. Thanks for sharing your recipe :)
Thanks for sharing how your mom used to do hers. Those are great ideas and I bet great memories for you!
My Mum used to make this mostly in the winter time for dessert she would sometimes add rice other times spaghetti but mostly it was bread and butter custard as we called it by adding a couple of slices of bread that she would spread butter on and leave that to float on the top my favourite part of the custard the nice crunch of the bread yummy
Thank you for this recipe. It brought back many memories with my mom who has passed away from Cancer.I’ve often thought about this recipe and could not remember it but my mom would make it to put a smile on my face😊 thank you ! 💜
This was something my 100 year old grandma remembered her mother making for her growing up and as her caregiver it was something easy that I was able to make for her during the last few months of her life that she was always happy to eat, even when her dementia affected her appetite. Thank you for posting the recipe, I just wanted to let you know what it meant to us. 💜
Thank you for sharing your story!🥰 I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed seeing the recipe and it reminded you of what you used to make for your grandma, that her mother made for her😊
Sweet story. ❤
Finally, a custard recipe that is actually a custard and not a sauce. Thank you for this video!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the straightforward video explanation
I make this all the time only I use 100% heavy cream and I only use 5 eggs. Turns out perfect every time. A water bath is a must.
As much as I don't like doing water baths, I agree they are a must for things like this! Thanks for watching!
Yum thanks for reminding about this lovely dish.
My mum made this when we were poorly. It was easy to digest and tasty.
Yes, it is good for that! Thanks for watching, Cathy!
Even more yummy poured out into a pastry case prior to baking - Traditional English Custard Tart!
Oh did you bring back some memories! Many many times I remember that my grandmother would make custard pie. I miss her and her custard pies!
We make this all the time in the carribean. You can also add condensed milk and custard power to jazz it up. Sometimes we steam it for 45min on the stove if you don't feel like lighting the oven. Great stuff.
It is good stuff, I'll have to try it with condensed milk one of these times! Good tip for steaming it on the stove too, thanks!!
I think you can also use condensed milk, long time I don't have it .
This is an excellent dish for the steaming technique. More gentle on the eggs than an oven. I imagine you could use any kind of milk you choose. Naturally the flavor profile will reflect that.
My grandmother made this. It has been so many years since I have had it. I'll have to make one. Thanks for jogging an old memory.
Okay, I made one. It is cooling now and I am looking forward to seeing how close it is to what I remember. I was going to include a pic, but I'm not sure how to do that. I think it looks good. Thanks again Alicia.
Unfortunately UA-cam doesn't let you do pics. I would have loved to see how it turned out! I hope you enjoyed it!!
How did it turn out?
Omg I have years trying to find this recipe the smell and taste never leave my memory omg thank you so much by the way I grow up in Costa Rica my grandmother used to make it ❤
I love baked custards
I'm so happy I can make custard without corn flour. Thankyou.
Looks amazing. I've always loved egg custard tart. Earliest memory is of my English Grandma making it x
💛😊
THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME
I love how practical home- making used to be(and still is in some people's homes). I am obsessed with custards, creams, etc. This looks so delicious!
I agree! So many recipes were based on things not going to waste. That is how this one came to be in our family! This is such a yummy way to use up milk! Thanks for watching my friend!💛
I'm looking for a good caramel custard recipe, always a favorite when I was a child!
Thank you for the recipe. I've been looking for this ~ the simple, old-fashioned, real deal. But just as much, I love all the memories it's brought up for people, and all the sweet and touching stories they've shared. Food seems to do that more than any other experience. Thank you everyone for your stories. ❤
Thank you so much! Will be making this for Christmas Dinner.
Hope you enjoy!
YES!! 🥰
I remember eating this as a child, and I'm so happy to find a similar recipe to my mom's. thank you!
I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for watching!
Smells so excellent while it's cooking, they should make this for a diffuser or a wax scent!! a candle!! custard scented...
Fantastic..Followed recipe to a tee .!! Woderful ! Thank you for sharing1
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
You nailed it! Looks delicious.
Thanks Kory! I was happy I remembered how to do it! Lol
This was such a great recipe! I’ve never made a baked custard before. The cinnamon and nutmeg was such a flavorful addition to the top. That’s a great idea for extra milk. Awesome job!
Thanks Lisa! This is so good and easy to make! Thanks as always for watching!💕
Pretty cool old skool treat. Not to mention a great use for old milk instead of throwing it out.
It definitely beats throwing out milk. This stuff takes me back to my childhood! Thanks for watching TJ!
Loved it! Thank you!
This is just like my mom’s recipe! I’ve been searching custard recipes for hrs & finally found the one that looks like what my mom used to make. Thank you for sharing!
I'm glad to hear that! Thanks for watching, Athena!
i've done the very same thing for the same reason.
Me, too! My mom is 91 and I’m making it for us. Surprise Mom!
Thank you so much for this quick & easy egg custard recipe. I absolutely loved it. My daughter loved it & she requested me to make it after she has some teeth removed. It’s just like what my mom used to make. Now, I’m looking for an old fashioned creamy rice pudding recipe.
My pleasure 😊
My mom would use leftover rice and put canned fruit in it and make pudding , that change it a little from plain rice pudding
That was Way back in the 50s 👍
This looks amazing! I've seen this recipe in my old Good housekeeping cookbook and I have never tried it but wanted to. I'm so glad you explained about the scalding milk. That makes total sense. I would use the microwave too. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to be making this sometime this week. 🤗🤗🤗
It is an oldie but goodie! It always reminds me of my childhood when I make it! Thanks for watching, Vicki! 💛
Excellent recipe for old faschioned baked custard. It looks delicious.
Thank you, it is good stuff!
I’ve never made custard, but you made it look so easy! I’m going to give it a try! It looks really good 😋
This custard is really easy which is one of the things I love about it! Thanks for watching! 💛
How long does I have to baked it in the oven
Hi Alicia, baked custard is one of our families favorites, it’s just a real comfort food! When my youngest Beau was a baby he loved it and would eat it all the time! I also like to add cinnamon but definitely going to try nutmeg next time! Just delicious, really enjoyed watching 🧡
Hi Louise! Custard is such a comfort food, I love it! Both of my kids love it too. I made it for them since it isn't exactly WW friendly. Lol The nutmeg is nice on there if you like nutmeg. Thanks as always for watching sweet friend! 💛
If you use nutmeg don't put too much as it's quite a strong flavour
This looks so good! Thanks for sharing. I tried to follow a recipe and make a custard once. I wasn't sure what a custard was supposed to look and taste like. Mine certainly didn't look as delicious and creamy as yours! Yummy! I'm totally going to use the water bath technique if I ever try again! This is awesome Alicia! Thanks for sharing!
Hi LaDay! Some custards are not as firm as this one is but I like the firmer texture of this one. The water bath does help this to turn out better than without it! It is yummy stuff! Thanks for watching my friend!💛
Thank you do much, I’ve been wanting this for about two weeks now!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Glad I could help!
These look so yummy! The cinnamon and nutmeg on top makes it look even better 💕💕. You have the best recipes! Have a wonderful day ❤️❤️
Thanks Jen! I think the cinnamon and nutmeg add to the overall flavor of this! Thanks for watching my friend! 💕
This looks amazing!!! So rich and silky. I love that it’s only a handful of ingredients, most of which are in our fridge and pantry. I definitely have to make this custard, thanks for sharing Alicia ❤️
Hi Susy! It is really good and really easy! I love how the older recipes were a lot of times simpler! Thanks for watching!💕
Looks so good! Mine are cooling down right now and it's so tempting to just eat them right away, lol. Thanks for the recipe! :D
Hope you enjoy, thanks for watching!
They are beautiful! Gonna try this right now.
Hope you enjoy!
Super delicious! My second batch now! Oh using farm fresh eggs and milk! So creamy! To die for!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I can imagine fresh farm eggs and milk would put this over the top!
Mm so good.A Boss of mine in Staten Island in New York taught me how to do this for her Mom. She taught me to make this the same way you did 😊I now remember how it is made I can make it for my husband he will love it.🎉❤ kudos to you 💘😌
Hope you both enjoy!
You solved my texture problem. I need to use a water bath!! Thank you for the great instructions.
And I love your beautiful counter/table top!!!! It's gorgeous!!
Hi, Rebecca, a water bath does help a lot! Thank you so much!
Xcellent cooking.😊 very simple 😊
Looks good and different than the same o same o! Thanks for sharing! The kids would love!
It is good stuff! Thanks for watching, Tiffany!💕
Made it yesterday, it came out perfect.
Glad to hear it, Marilyn! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for making this lovely custard so easy to understand and do. I made this for my mom today who has not had it in decades. (she is 80) It will be hard to stop her from eating it until tomorrow’s Easter celebration. ❤
My pleasure. I'm glad your mom enjoyed it!😊💛
This is absolutely yummer's ville. a little Nutmeg...👍🏻
It is so yummy! Thanks for watching, Tracey!💕
I'm making this with whipping cream! I love custard... Randomly wondering how flan is any different but I love them both! ❤😋
They are both similar but different in texture and flavor, mainly. Also in the way they are made. Custard is lighter and has a more milder flavor than flan. Both good though!
What a nice treat!
Thanks! It is yummy!
I am going to make this! The finished product looks exactly like the one my grandfather used to make. Thank you for the video!
Hope you enjoy! Thanks for watching!
@@AliciaLynnYT I let it chill overnight and it WAS just how I'd hoped! Yum! I see how have some Weber Smokey Mountain videos too. I just bought one of those yesterday so I will check those out! 🎄
@@vero0992 I'm glad you enjoyed it! As for the Weber Smokey Mountain, I hope you love yours as much as we have ours! Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas!🎄
I put the full 2 tsp of essence & cooked it for 60mins. I used full cream milk & it came out beautifully. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing and for watching, Teresa!
Wonderful!
Thank you, Marissa!
Yummy looks amazing
Thank you!
I really loved it!!! Thanks for the recipe 💛. If anyone wants to make a slightly smaller version with stevia this is what I used:
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups of milk
- 2 tablespoons of stevia
- the rest is the same
- I used 6 ramekins (9cm or 3 1/2 inch diameter)
I'm glad you loved it! Thanks for watching!
Exactly what I just did- 1/2 the quantity of ingredients
Do you remember what temperature you baked it at? And for how long? I keep listening to the video and can’t find where she said it.
@@AliciaLynnYT What temp and for about how long?
@@peopleslave 350F for 45minutes
I have to give this a try
It is yummy and easy!
Hi Alicia just came across your video and it’s just as my mother-in-law used to make it. I’ve made it this afternoon and I used lactose free milk and to my surprise and happiness it has come out very tasty. Just to let all who have to have lactose free milk that we don’t have to miss out 😊. Thanks for the recipe x
Thank you for letting me and others know it works well with lactose free milk as well!
Yum!
Thanks, it is good stuff!
Wow, wow, wow! Thank you so much! This is what my mom and grandma would make and I never could replicate. I just had some after following your recipe and it’s everything I remember. I’m so blessed to have found your channel! Blessings to you!
I'm happy to hear it tastes like what your mom and grandma made! I was aiming for the same thing when I made it and it ended up being like what I remembered too. Thanks for letting me know, Barbara!
My Grandma lived through the Depression Era. I stayed with her alot growing up. Many food's she made was still from back in that Era. She would regularly make either egg custard, rice pudding, or a Mayonnaise cake. And OMGOSH they All tasted soooo so good!! My mom had the original recipes My Grandma had wrote down. Through the year's they were lost, so I never knew how to make them.
THIS!! Brings me back to my Grandma's kitchen! It taste exactly like her recipe! I can't thank you enough for sharing this!!
I love that, April! Thanks so much for sharing!!💛
Hi Alicia, I just made this, following your recipe, I used whole milk it turns out just like you said it will. Thank you so very much, I absolutely love it
Thanks so much for letting me know you made it, I'm glad you love it!!
Oh my gosh girl!🙋🏻♀️🤤 I will be right over! This looks so delicious. It reminds me of the custard filled donuts I get!😂 I never thought to make my own.
And I don’t think I have ever seen the water bath technique either. Very cool. Wonderful recipe my sweet friend! You are killing me with all of your yummy delicious
desserts! 😩. I’m for sure trying this. 🤗😍😍 Fantastic share! Have a wonderful Tuesday!🤗❤️❤️
My absolute favorite donuts are the custard filled ones, I think they are called Boston creams. They are chocolate with custard filling and now I really want one!🍩 Lol The water bath technique does help this to come out better! I actually didn't eat any of this because it is not exactly WW friendly and it was hard not to. My kids definitely enjoyed it! Thanks for watching sweet friend and have a wonderful week! 🤗💛💜
Love Ole fashion 😊
Old fashioned is the best! Thanks for watching, Sandra!💛
This is a very simple and tasty recipe. I added coconut flakes and they toasted on the top. Thanks. ❤️🌱
Great idea!
Yummyyyyyyy!!!!!! I loveeeeeee it ❤️❤️ sooo delish 😋 made me cry lol 😆 thanks for the step by step as always love it 😊 but this is one is my all time favorite ammmm sooo craving right now lol 😆
Thanks Yasmin! This is really good and brings back childhood memories for me! Thanks for watching!💕
Looks great yummy have a great week 🏵️🌞
Thanks! Have a great week yourself!💛
Mmm even nicer in a pastry case,,
Thanks for watching!
Thank you I’ve been looking for this recipe for years. 👍I forgot the exact ingredients, I made this as a child.
My pleasure 😊
Wow looks so good 😋👍
Thank you for sharing
Please stay connected
Thank for sharing I haven’t ever made this my momma made custard with rice in it and I don’t like it that way just plane custard thanks again god bless
Scalding the milk gives it a better taste for this desert.
This is definitely a recipe that I can easily make sugar free and is carnivore friendly; I don't know why I didn't think of doing it before. Thanks for the great idea Alicia! Yours turned out great. When I was a kid we would make a similar custard filling to put in creme puffs with my Gram. I use to make cheesecake using water baths. Full watch, big like! 😊👍
Hi Vara! I was thinking I should have made this sugar free so that I could eat it! Lol I just made it for the kids since it isn't WW friendly. Cream puffs are so good, one of my favorite things! It is the same concept with this as it is for cheesecake when it comes to the water bath. I don't always do it because it is an extra step but it does make a difference. Thanks for watching my friend! 💛
I was wondering if we could make it sugar-free so I'm making this tomorrow thanks for the tip.
I made custard all the time when I was younger, not sure why I stopped. I've recently had health issues that require a low fiber, high calorie diet and was racking my brain on what I could try that wouldn't make me sick. Custard popped in my brain so I searched and found your recipe. It's just like the one I always used and I'll be making it right away. I will be using whole milk, or maybe half and half to boost the calorie count. Thanks for the recipe and also for helping me finally decide to make the leap to cherry butcher block counter tops. Yours are lovely.
I'm sorry to hear about your health issues, this custard definitely would fit your dietary needs it sounds like. Especially if you used whole milk or something with a higher fat content. I hope you enjoy it! Wishing you improved health!
Thanks Alicis for sharing this recipe! It's looks so delicious GOD bless you.!
Thank you, Peggy and God bless you!
These look yummy, will definitely have to try this 😋 great share from new friends here
Thanks for stopping by!
Yum 😋
Thanks, they are a childhood favorite of mine!
Looks delicious I'm going to go make some right now thank you XOXO
Hope you enjoy, thanks for watching!
@@AliciaLynnYT I made it last night and it was so delicious XOXO have a wonderful day
I just watched your video instruction while searching for a baked custard recipe. I used one last week and baked it in a prepared pie crust. It turned out good, but I'd prefer just the custard without the pie crust. So, tonight that's what I was looking for when I found this recipe. I'm off to try your recipe!
I hope you enjoyed it!
Yummy I'm definitely going to try this recipe next time🤤, I normally just make custard on the stove top when needing to use milk up, my boys love it for a dessert! But this is a nice firmer custard, so maybe not as much mess from my little ones when they eat this 🤔😆👍 never knew what the water bath was for either so leant something new ❤
If you can have less mess with the little ones that would be a plus! 😄😃The water bath does help it to cook more evenly. I have done it with and without and it comes out better with. Thanks for watching, Jacqui!💛💜
In addition to what Alicia said, the water bath also provides moisture to the custard and keeps it from cracking on the top of the baked custard.
my nanny made this, my dad made this now i make it for myself. so good. i use can milk with water added.
Wow sister looks so delicious yummie thanks for sharing have a bless day sis
Hope you are having a blessed day too sis!
So beautiful will make ty
Yum
I used to make this 30 years ago, but i couldn't remember the eggs to milk ratio. Thank you so much. Ive bern looking for this recipe for long time, and all tge other recipes are a different kind of egg custard. Its addicing.
Delicious
I always have way too many eggs my hens are good layers. So this is a great recipe for extra eggs. My custard is in the oven, I hope it turns out well and if it does I see a lot of custard in my future.
Thanks just was looking for this this recipe 😋
Most welcome 😊
I have never had a custard 😋 but it looks so yummy!! I remember at church functions ladies would bring this dish and I was always afraid to try it😆 Yours looks yummy!!!
I can see how you would be afraid to try it! Lol It doesn't look the most appealing but it is delicious and so easy to make! Thanks for watching, Crystal!
v.delicious
I made the keto version of this using heavy cream and erythritol instead and it was deeelish! And btw, I could eat that whole ramekin by myself!
Thanks for sharing, can I ask how much erythritol you used?
@@22anamae I can't really remember--I usually just measure by sight but I'd say maybe 1/3 of a cup? But on your erythritol package, it should give you the conversion from sugar to erythritol. She uses 2/3 of a cup of sugar here.
That looks damn gooooooood!!!!!
Big Like 4 👍🤤🤠😄🥰❣🌹
Thank you!
Yummy I made this!
Wonderful!
So glad I found your video! - I am not feeling well due to Covid... (positive - ugh!) and just made myself some baked egg custard per your instructions... it came out delicious! Luckily my sense of taste is still working well! Cheers!
I'm sorry to hear you aren't feeling well because of Covid! I hope you get to feeling better soon and I'm glad you still have your sense of taste! Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed this!
looks good. it doesnt have to be perfect.
Thank you!
perfecto!
