  • Add sugar to taste: The amount of sugar you add to your custard is a matter of personal preference. Start with 1/4 cup of sugar and add more to taste, if desired.
  • Use a fine-mesh strainer: Straining your custard before baking will remove any lumps and give you a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Bake your custard in a water bath: Baking your custard in a water bath will help to prevent it from curdling and will give you a more evenly cooked custard.
  • Chill your custard before serving: Chilling your custard before serving will allow it to set and will give you a firmer texture.
