Recipe: 4 Cups of Custard

Recipe: 4 Cups of Custard

Start with a solid glass 4 cup measuring cup.

Add ½ cup of sugar, and 4 eggs. Beat until smooth, but don't get air in.

Gradually mix in milk until the mixture reaches the 4 cup mark.

Carefully add flavoring. I like 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon of almond extract, and ½ teaspoon of nutmeg.

Put the cup in the microwave. give it 8 minutes on low. if you don't have a turn table do 2 minutes at a time with a quarter turn in between.

This is the tricky part because microwaves vary so much. Give the mixture another 3 minutes and check the temperature. If you have a thermometer you're looking for just over 200 degrees. Otherwise observe how it steams and judge when it looks about to boil. Until you reach that point, keep zapping it. But stop as soon as you reach it.

Wait half an hour. It should be set but not very hard. Scoop it out and eat it warm.

This is very soothing to the stomach and easy to digest. It's i had when i was really down with the nasty bug that's been going around.
