No-one could make baked custard like mum. Whenever I went home she always asked what I would like her to make for me - it got to the stage that she didn't have to ask, it was waiting for me when I arrived!

One day I asked her for the recipe and she simply told me that all she did was to double the amount of eggs.

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • grated nutmeg
  • butter to grease the dish

  4. Add the milk and vanilla bean paste to the egg and sugar mixture, and whisk to combine.

Notes
  • To test - slip a knife into the custard and if it shows a cut when the knife is gently drawn sideward, the custard is cooked.
  • Serve with stewed seasonal fruit.
