This is just one of over 9,000 recipes we've collected since early 1996. Many of these recipes have been passed down from family member to family member and then shared with friends and then, with Mike Pitzer's Secret Recipes. When it comes to recipes, the real secret is that all of our recipes always have been, and always will be free!

Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 275° F.
  2. In a small, heavy skillet over low heat, stir the 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon water until the sugar melts, is free of lumps and turns a light caramel color.
  3. Pour a spoonful into 6 four-ounce custard cups and let stand until cooled.
  4. Beat the eggs with the 1/4 cup sugar and add the scalded milk slowly, while stirring. Add vanilla extract. Strain carefully into the prepared cups to avoid disturbing the caramel.
  5. Place cups in a pan of hot water. The water should come almost to the top of the cups. Cover with foil. Bake slowly, 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Remove from the water and cool. Chill. To serve, run a knife around the edge of the custard and invert the cup onto a small plate.
