Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups whole milk I use raw milk fresh from the farm
  • 1 cup cream I use raw cream too, it's amazing!
  • ¾ cup organic cane sugar
  • 2 whole pastured eggs
  • 2 pastured egg yolks
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • 2. Take out a 9x13 glass baking dish and place 6 ramekins inside of it.
  • 3. In a large saucepan, stir together the milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla.
  • 4. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently to prevent the milk from scalding.
  • 5. In a large mixing bowl whisk the eggs (look at those beautiful orange pastured yolks!).
  • 6. Pour the milk mixture into the eggs, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from cooking.
  • 7. Pour mixture into ramekins.
  • 8. Boil some water in a tea kettle and pour into glass baking dish so it comes up the sides of the ramekins. Be careful that it does not pour into the custard.
  • 9. Carefully put glass dish and ramekins into the oven and bake for an hour, they will be starting to set but still jiggly.
  • 10. Remove from oven and allow to cool on a cooling rack.
  • 11. Once they are cooled, place them into the fridge and allow them to chill overnight for the best creamy thick texture.
  • 12. These custard cups last about three days in the fridge.
