Spice Infused Custards-martha Stewart Living Recipe
Yield: 4 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup: Milk,
1/2 cup: Heavy cream,
2: Vanilla beans, split and scraped
1 large: Egg,
3 large: Egg yolks,
1/3 cup: Sugar,
Directions:
1. Combine milk, cream, and vanilla beans and scrapings in a small
saucepan and heat until small bubbles form around the edge. Remove
from heat, cover, and let steep for 30 minutes. Strain, discarding
vanilla beans. Heat oven to 325. Place a roasting pan in oven and
pour in 2 inches of hot water.
2. Whisk together egg, egg yolks, and sugar. Slowly whisk in milk
mixture, then strain and skim off any foam. Pour into four 6-oz
custard cups and arrange them evenly in roasting pan in oven. The
water should reach halfway up the sides of custard cups. Cover

should still quake a little bit when gently shaken.

refrigerate until ready to serve.
VARIATIONS: Substitute 3 oz smashed fresh ginger or 1 t ground
ginger, 1 cinnamon stick broken into pieces and 1/2 t ground
cinnamon, or a pinch of saffron for the vanilla bean.
