Spiced Orange Custard

Istruzioni

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

2. 2

   In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling.

3. 3

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until well combined.

4. 4

   Gradually add the hot milk to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking.

5. 5

   Zest the orange and add the zest to the mixture along with the vanilla extract. Stir well.

6. 6

   Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl to remove any cooked egg bits.

7. 7

   Pour the custard mixture into individual ramekins or a baking dish.

8. 8

   Place the ramekins or baking dish in a larger baking pan and fill the pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins or dish.

9. 9

   Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
