Baked Custard

1.    In a large saucepan over medium heat, scald milk. 

2.    When milk has a “skin” on the top, turn off heat and add sugar, salt and vanilla.

3.    In a large blender, blend eggs.

4.    While the blender is on low, carefully remove lid and slowly add 1 cup hot milk mixture to eggs.

5.    Pour remaining milk into a 9 x 13 baking dish.  Slowly add egg mixture while whisking with a wire whisk to blend eggs and milk.

6.    Place in oven and bake for an hour or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

7.    Sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg if desired.
