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!!
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 ! 💜
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.
My grandma made this custard almost every week. also brings back memories of her. I loved her custard and she always saved me a ramekin. Love and miss you grandma.
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 :)
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 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. ❤
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.
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.
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.
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.
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😊
This wonderful recipe brought back so many memories. If I might add, Pepperidge Farm makes a very super thin bread, 0:36 if you float a thin slice on top and then cover it with the cinnamon and nutmeg and bake it you will find you will have a crust that is absolutely delicious. But it has to be the super thin bread. I think it’s made by Pepperidge Farm or Arnold’s one of those, but it’s one of those super skinny slices that are very dense, I hope you will give it a try because you won’t believe how delicious it is. Thanks again for a wonderful recipe
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
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. ❤
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!💛
@@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!🎄
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 💘😌
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.
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 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!
I add frozen mixed berries with some sugar in a pan and boil till there is juice let it cool add it to the custard when its cooked then beat up 2 egg white put that ontop and put back in the oven until the ppeaks are slightly browned
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
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!
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 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 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 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.
Scalding milk does serve an important purpose. Scalding milk denatures proteins. It weakens the whey protein in milk, which can prevent yeast from working properly. This allows the gluten to stay intact, which helps dough rise. In Custard it is not as important but this old practice was used in so many recipes it was just second nature when baking.
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!
I accidently ordered two dozen eggs in my online order today and was craving something sweet.. I had extra 1% milk as well and decided to make this at nearly 10 o'clock at night. I scalded the milk on the stovetop and mixed everything in the Kitchen Aid real quick. I'm having a scheduled cesarean in two days so I'm treating myself! I love custard, I can't believe I've never made it before! I'll update with how it taste!
I hope it turns out well for you, it is yummy stuff! And how exciting to be having a cesarean soon! You definitely deserve to treat yourself! Thanks for watching!
Just had a little bowl with my morning coffee 💕 so tasty! Waiting for my boys to wake up to share! Yes! My first was a homebirth turned cesarean and since then I've discovered some anatomical issues and we are so thankful for modern medicine to deliver our babygirl safely!
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!
@@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.
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
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!
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!!
If the milk isn't scalded when making yogurt, it turns out to be a runny mess, no yogurt. I don't know what scalding does, but sometimes makes a difference. Thanks for the video, it looks great.
Very good. Looks good. The next time you put the topping on, instead of nutmeg, use Mace which comes from nutmeg. Makes it taste like and old fashion pound cake.
Grew up on a Minnesota dairy farm. Milk was not a problem and was usually 4.5% whole milk. Mom had problems with her custard coming out sort of watery for whatever reason. I've seen some folks add a bit of corn starch which might fix that problem.
Thank you so much for uploading this wonderful classic, I plan to make this for my household. Do you think halfing the ingredients to make a smaller amount will still pan out okay? Thanks 💜
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!
Alicia I’m testing out your recipe right now!! Its inthe oven. Just like you, i had to use two smaller baking safe containers instead of one big one, because i had to use the water bath, and i could not fit my smaller pan into my bigger pan, since my smaller pan is circular. Anyways i cant wait to try them!!
My Gramma made this for me when I was little! I hated milk and eggs made me sick. She figured this would fill in those holes in my diet! She sometimes added coconut, yum.
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! 💛
I make this often now, and it's the best custard. Using a tasty whole milk really makes a difference.

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!
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!

@@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.
This has brought back childhood memories thanks for sharing , new subscriber here
I’m going ti tryout with coconut milk and dates. I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks
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
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!💕
Delicious
Mmm even nicer in a pastry case,,
Thanks for watching!
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!
I came for the recipe....stayed for the nail polish.
Btw....you should consider being a hand model. Your hands are flawless.
Oh thank you!
Yummy I made this!
Wonderful!
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!
Wow looks so good 😋👍
Thank you for sharing
Please stay connected
THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME
If the milk isn't scalded when making yogurt, it turns out to be a runny mess, no yogurt. I don't know what scalding does, but sometimes makes a difference. Thanks for the video, it looks great.
Good to know, thanks!
@@AliciaLynnYT you are welcome, it’s always nice when people share with each other
Thanks for the recipe. Plan to make this but will like to know how hot the milk should be.
It doesn't have to be super hot, probably around 130-150 F
Very good. Looks good. The next time you put the topping on, instead of nutmeg, use Mace which comes from nutmeg. Makes it taste like and old fashion pound cake.
Grew up on a Minnesota dairy farm. Milk was not a problem and was usually 4.5% whole milk. Mom had problems with her custard coming out sort of watery for whatever reason. I've seen some folks add a bit of corn starch which might fix that problem.
So beautiful will make ty
It's insane how 3 or 4 simple ingredients make such delicious desserts. Zabaglione, panna cotta, traditional custards....
I totally agree!
Thank you so much for uploading this wonderful classic, I plan to make this for my household. Do you think halfing the ingredients to make a smaller amount will still pan out okay? Thanks 💜
You could definitely do half. I hope you enjoy!
@@AliciaLynnYT amazing, thanks so much for replying. I'll enjoy making this on Sunday! 😊💜
Yum
Do you recommend buttering the sides of the baking dish before adding the mixture?
There is no need to.
@@AliciaLynnYT Thank you, I am going to try to make this over the weekend. Cheers.
Hope you enjoy!@@maxjUArizona
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!
Thanks😂. Have made it everytimei cant think what i want to eat. The memories bring tears to my eyes. Cut across all races and cultures.
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!💕
Alicia I’m testing out your recipe right now!! Its inthe oven. Just like you, i had to use two smaller baking safe containers instead of one big one, because i had to use the water bath, and i could not fit my smaller pan into my bigger pan, since my smaller pan is circular. Anyways i cant wait to try them!!
I hope it turned out well for you!
You nailed it! Looks delicious.
Thanks Kory! I was happy I remembered how to do it! Lol
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 is absolutely yummer's ville. a little Nutmeg...👍🏻
It is so yummy! Thanks for watching, Tracey!💕
My Gramma made this for me when I was little! I hated milk and eggs made me sick. She figured this would fill in those holes in my diet! She sometimes added coconut, yum.
Smart Gramma! Coconut would be yummy in this. Thanks for watching, Nancy!
Whole eggs?🤯 I didn't even know! Great, now I'm gonna make it right now! Thanks!✌🏻🤪😎 And no cornstarch? WOW!
Wish me luck!😵💫👍🏻
When we used to "Go To Work On An Egg" days...
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
These look yummy, will definitely have to try this 😋 great share from new friends here
Thanks for stopping by!
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
