Honey Custard

We prefer an eggier, more subtly sweet take
on the classic Joy of Cooking baked custard

Preheat oven to 300°

Blend together:

• 4 c whole milk
• 1/2 c honey
• 1/4 tsp salt

Add and beat well:

• 5 eggs

Add:

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (or the scraped seeds from a 1-inch vanilla bean) 

Once well-beaten, pour into baking dish. 

Dust with: 

• Nutmeg

Place dish into a larger baking dish and fill larger with boiling water. 

Bake an hour or more until custard firm and knife comes out clean.
