Baked Egg Custards
1 & 1/2 cups milk
1/4 fresh vanilla pod
1/3 cup powdered white sugar
2 eggs
nutmeg
Slit the vanilla pod and scrape the seeds into the milk. Throw the pod into the milk too.
Add the sugar, and warm the milk to just below boiling.
Leave the vanilla to infuse until milk is tepid.
Remove the vanilla pod.
Add the eggs and whisk gently just until eggs & milk are thoroughly combined.
Pour into little ramekin dishes (you'll need about 3 or 4 for this quantity). Grate nutmeg over the top.
Stand the ramekins in a baking pan, and carefully pour hot water around the ramekin.
Bake in a med-low oven (160 deg C; 375 deg F) for approx 50 mins.
Custards are cooked when their wibbly wobbly texture looks settled, and a sharp knife inserted comes out clean.

Baked Egg Custard
1/2 litre/1 pint milk, 5 eggs,a vanilla pod, lemon rind or grated nutmeg to flavour,1 little unsalted butter,60g/2 oz castor sugar
1 Select a ring mould or oven-proof dish just large enough to take the quantity being made-the above recipe will amount to about 1-1/2 pints. Lightly butter this with the unsalted butter.
2 Beat the eggs and sugar together until the sugar has dissolved. Bring the milk to the boil, together with whichever flavouring has been selected (with the lemon, it is only necessary to peel bits of the rind with a potato-peeler; one need not grate or shred it).
3 Pour the boiling milk over the egg mixture, whisking briskly all the time, then strain it into your mould. Arrange the mould in a baking tin of hot water.
4 Bake on the middle shelf of the oven, pre-heated to 170 C/325F/gas mark 3. It will take about 45 minutes for the custard to set. (Test by inserting a knife-blade, which should come out clean; or by gently pressing the edge with your finger-no liquid will come out if the custard is set.)
5 To unmould, gently ease away the edges with the finger before placing a serving dish over the top and inverting

Try the following
Baked egg custard with summer fruits
For the baked custard
400ml/14fl oz double cream
175ml/6fl oz full-fat milk
6 free-range egg yolks
6 tbsp runny honey
freshly grated nutmeg
For the raspberry sauce
450g/1lb ripe raspberries
2 lemons, juice only
1 orange, juice only
175g/6oz caster sugar
1 750ml/1¼ pints bottle red wine
For the red fruit compote
450g/1lb raspberries
55g/2oz redcurrants, hulls removed
55g/2oz blackcurrants, hulls removed
85ml/3fl oz crème de framboise
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 160C/325F/Gas 3.
2. For the baked custard, heat the cream and milk together until boiling, then remove from the heat.
3. Beat the egg yolks and half the honey together, then pour in the hot cream. Strain into a jug.
4. Drizzle the remaining honey into 4 non-stick dariole moulds, grate a little nutmeg on top of the honey, then pour in the custard. Sprinkle the top with a little more nutmeg. Place the dariole moulds on a baking tray and pour in hot water to come halfway up the sides of the moulds. Place in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until just set.
5. Remove the moulds from the water and allow to cool. Refrigerate until half an hour before serving.
6. For the sauce, purée the raspberries with the lemon and orange juices in a blender until smooth. Pass through a fine sieve into a non-reactive saucepan. Discard the pips.
7. Add the sugar and red wine and bring to the boil over a moderate heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until the liquid is reduced to about 300ml/10fl oz. Skim off any scum that may come to the surface and discard. Set aside in a cool place until ready to use.
8. For the compote, place the fruit in a non-reactive pan and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool, then add the crème de framboise. Using a slotted spoon, spoon the fruit into four dariole moulds lined with cling film. Cover with the overhanging cling film, then weigh down each with a light weight to compress the fruit. Leave overnight.
9. To serve, turn the custards out onto four plates. Turn out the fruit compotes beside the custard, then add a swirl of the raspberry sauce.
Or Baked egg custard with candied fennel
3 free-range egg yolks
75g/2¾oz caster sugar
200ml/7fl oz milk
200ml/7fl oz double cream
1 vanilla pod, split

4. Meanwhile, for the candied fennel, heat a pan, add the sugar, lemon juice and the fennel slices and cook for five minutes on a low heat.
5. To serve, place the candied fennel on top of the custard in a bowl.
