How to Make Suffolk Baked Custard

  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs and 1/2 cup (100g) of granulated sugar until light and frothy.
  3. Gradually whisk in 2 cups (475ml) of warm whole milk, ensuring no lumps form.
  4. Pour the custard mixture into individual ramekins or a large pie dish.
  5. Grate a generous pinch of fresh nutmeg over the top of each custard.
  6. Place the ramekins/pie dish in a larger baking dish. Carefully pour enough hot water into the larger dish to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins/pie dish (this creates a bain-marie, ensuring even cooking and preventing cracks).
  7. Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until the custard is just set and no longer wobbles in the center. A knife inserted near the edge should come out clean.
  8. Let the custards cool slightly in the water bath before serving. Enjoy warm or chilled!
