Ingredients

Method

1.

Preheat oven to moderately slow, 160°C. Place four ¾ cup, ovenproof ramekins in a large baking pan.

2.

In a medium bowl, whisk cream, milk, eggs, sugar and vanilla together until well combined.

3.

Pour mixture evenly among ramekins (through a sieve, if desired).

4.

Using a small sieve, generously dust custards with cinnamon.

5.

Add enough cold water to come halfway up the sides of ramekins.

6.

Bake 35-40 minutes, until custards are set, with a slight wobble in the centre. Remove from water. Cool 5-10 minutes before serving warm, or cool completely, then chill until ready to serve. 

Cook’s tips

  • If liked, dust tops with a mixture of nutmeg and cinnamon.
  • You can also make this in a 4-cup ovenproof baking dish.
  • For a variation, line the base with 1 cup cooked rice or sprinkle with ½ cup sultanas.
