Sweetheart, have you ever felt the joy of pulling out a perfectly set, golden-hued custard from your oven? That’s what I’m bringing to the table today – a treasure from our Amish neighbors known as Baked Custard. This dish is simplicity at its finest, revealing the true charm of Midwestern cooking where each ingredient is honored. The recipe, passed down through generations, holds within it the warmth of family gatherings and quiet Sunday suppers. It’s not just food; it’s a piece of heritage. With its gentle sweetness and comforting texture, Amish Baked Custard is something you make when you want to wrap your loved ones in a blanket of creamy delight. Let’s keep tradition alive, and invite this time-honored classic to grace your table.
Now, darlin’, think of this custard as a genteel dessert that needs little fuss. It’s divine all on its own, but a sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon can add a whisper of spice. If you’re inclined to dress it up a bit, a handful of fresh berries or a spoonful of fruit compote pairs beautifully. I also like to serve my custard with a side of shortbread cookies or a slice of warm, buttered bread for dipping into that creamy goodness. And for a special morning treat, a dollop of this custard alongside your favorite breakfast fare can turn the start of your day into something quite extraordinary.
Amish Baked Custard
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients:
– 4 large eggs
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
– 2 1/2 cups whole milk
– 1 cup heavy cream
– Ground nutmeg or cinnamon for sprinkling (optional)
Directions:
1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C), my dear, so it’s ready for your custard.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and salt until well blended and the mixture starts to lighten in color.
3. Stir in the vanilla extract to give it that homely essence.
4. Gently warm the milk and cream in a saucepan over medium heat; you’re looking for a soothing warmth, not a boil.
