Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350
  • Beat egg yolks and add all additional ingredients and combine well. Pour into individual custard cups. Place cups into a baking dish and pour hot water into the large dish until it comes about halfway up the individual cups. This allows the custard to bake evenly. Bake for about 45 minutes or until when you jiggle the cup there is just a little give in the middle. Remove and chill completely.
