Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium mixing bowl, lightly beat the egg white using a whisk or fork.
- Add the vanilla extract and sugar to the beaten egg white and whisk until the sugar is mostly dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Gradually stir in the milk, ensuring the mixture is well combined.
- Pour the custard mixture evenly into 4 oven-safe custard cups or ramekins.
- Sprinkle a pinch of ground nutmeg evenly over the top of each custard cup.
- Place the filled custard cups in a large baking dish.
- Carefully pour hot water into the baking dish around the custard cups until the water reaches halfway up the sides of the cups.
- Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center of the custard comes out clean and the tops are lightly golden.
- Remove the custard cups from the water bath and let them cool on a wire rack.
- After cooling to room temperature, refrigerate the custards for at least 2 hours, or until they are fully chilled.
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to help them combine more smoothly.
- Whisk the egg white thoroughly to avoid any lumps and achieve a smooth texture in the custard.
- Preheat the oven to the right temperature before baking to ensure even cooking.
- Place the custard dishes in a water bath (a larger pan filled with hot water) to help cook the custard evenly and prevent it from cracking.
- Allow the custard to cool and set in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight for the best texture and flavor.
