This is a very easy dish and the custard tastes wonderful!
You simply mix milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt together...pour into custard cups (or coffee mugs), set in water in a pan on the stovetop...bring to boil and turn off heat..let stand a while.
I was excited to get a copy of Wanda Brunstetter's
THE BEST OF AMISH FRIENDS COOKBOOK COLLECTION
You can see it here online..
This is a photo of the cover...
Wanda shares historical facts about Amish settlements across the country and their history..very interesting reading.
And lots and lots of unusual recipes. This is the first I've tried in the book, but have a list of others to try as well.
I did use part xylitol (sugar substitute) and allowed the custard to set 10 minutes longer...it was still a softer set, but tastes mighty fine!
AMISH STOVE-TOP CUSTARD
2 c. milk
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 c. sugar (or less)
1 tsp. vanilla
dash salt
few dashes of nutmeg
(Directions shared just as they are in the book)
Mix all ingredients just until blended. Pour into four custard cups (or coffee cups) and set cups in a kettle with an inch or two of cold water. (Pan should have a tight-fitting lid). Bring to boil, turn off heat, and let set for 45 minutes. Unbelievable, but this makes perfect custard.
