Easy Old-Fashioned Baked Custard

4 servings

Ingredients

2 cups milk
2 large eggs
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Pinch of nutmeg.

Hot water, for baking custards

Instructions

Heat the oven to 325 F. Place four 6-ounce custard cups (ramekins) in a large (9 inch) baking pan. 

In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups milk, 2 large eggs, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar.

Divide the custard mixture evenly among the custard cups.

Fill the pan with hot water to a depth almost even to the top of the custard cups. Sprinkle each serving with pinch of freshly grated nutmeg.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 55 minutes (depending on the depth of the baking dish), or until the custard is set. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean, and the custard should still have a slight jiggle in the center.
(160-175F, 70-80C) 40 minutes was too long (185 degrees), probably should be less than 30 minutes.

Serve immediately or chill until cold.

Pumpkin Yeast Bread Recipe | King Arthur Baking

Pumpkin Yeast Bread Recipe | King Arthur Baking

King Arthur Baking Company
Pumpkin Yeast Bread

Prep
15 mins
  
Bake
35 to 40 mins
  
Total
3 hrs 20 mins
  
Yield
2 loaves; or 1 loaf and 12 to 16 rolls; or 24 to 32 rolls
 
Ingredients
2 tablespoons instant yeast or active dry yeast
1/2 cup (113g) lukewarm milk
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups (340g) pumpkin purée
2 tablespoons (25g) vegetable oil
6 1/2 cups (780g) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1/2 cup (106g) light brown sugar or dark brown sugar, packed
2 1/2 teaspoons (15g) table salt
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon cardamom

Instructions
Place all of the ingredients into a large bowl, and mix and knead to make a smooth, soft dough.

Put the dough into a lightly greased bowl. Cover and let it rise until doubled, about 60 to 75 minutes.

Gently deflate the dough, and turn it out onto a lightly oiled work surface. Divide it in half.

Shape each half into a loaf, and place in lightly greased 9" x 5" loaf pans. Alternatively, shape half into a loaf, and the other into 12 to 16 rolls, which can be placed into two 8" round pans, or into a 9" x 13" pan. Or, simply shape all of the dough into 24 to 32 rolls.

Cover the pan(s) and let the loaves/rolls rise until almost doubled, about 45 minutes. Toward the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 350°F.

Bake the bread for 30 to 35 minutes, or until its crust is a deep golden brown, and a digital thermometer inserted into the center registers about 190°F. Bake the rolls for about 20 minutes, until golden brown.

Remove the bread from the oven, and turn it out onto a rack to cool. Store completely cool bread or rolls well-wrapped, at room temperature, for several days; freeze for longer storage.

Tips from our Bakers
Substitute white whole wheat flour for up to half of the all-purpose flour in the recipe.
