Step 1: Preparing Custard Base

Crack and beat the eggs using a wire whisk or fork. Gradually add in the sugar and milk, completely incorporating into the eggs. Be aware NOT to boil the milk prior to adding it to the eggs or it will cause them to curdle. Pour mixture into a greased pie dish or ramekin and sprinkle nutmeg on the surface.





Step 2: Baking Custard

Heat oven to 275-300 degrees. Partially fill a pan (one large enough to fit the ramekins or pie plate) with water. In pan, place the container with the custard in it. Place pan into center of the oven and bake until firm. Be sure oven is not too hot or the custard will curdle.


Step 3: Steaming Custard

In the steamer, make sure water is very hot (just bearable) but not boiling. Place pie plate or ramekins in steamer and steam for approximately 1 1/4 hours. Cool slightly and remove custard
