Baked Custard

3 slightly beaten eggs

1/4 cup brown sugar (you may use white, if you wish)

1/4 tsp. salt

2 cups milk

1 tsp. vanilla

Combine eggs, sugar, and salt. Stir in milk and vanilla. 

Set six custard cups in a shallow baking pan. Pour the egg mixture into them. Pour hot water around them in the baking pan, to a depth of about 1 inch. 

Place the baking pan in a preheated 325 oven. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a sharp knife inserted in the custard comes out clean.  Remove cups from pan to cool.

For one large custard, bake in a one-quart casserole for about 60 minutes or until done.
