cook time 1 Hr
method Bake
yield 6 to 8

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup flour, i used self rising
  • 2 cups heavy cream or whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 - eggs, lg or xlg

How To Make sweet cream egg custard

  • Step 1
    In a small bowl mix the sugar and flour well, set aside
  • Step 2
    In a large mixing bowl beat the eggs lightly
  • Step 3
    Use enough softened butter to butter the 1 qt casserole dish, add remainder to the eggs along with the vanilla extract and mix well.
  • Step 4
    Measure the milk and warm just to enough to get the chill off the milk.
  • Step 5
    Add the sugar/flour mixture to the egg mixture and mix well
  • Step 6
    Add the slightly warmed heavy cream to the egg mixture and mix well.
  • Step 7
    Carefully pour mixture into the buttered casserole dish and place in the preheated 350 degree oven for approximately 1 hour, check it at about 45 minutes. It will jiggle in the center, but you don't want it loose, it takes about an hour every time i make this.
