Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350. Mix 1/2 cup nonfat milk with the dry milk. Whisk in remaining milk, egg, sugar, and vanilla. Blend Well.
- Strain into a large bowl, skimming off any foam or bubbles.
- Divide mixture among 6 ramekins or custard cups. Place in a water bath and bake until set around edges, but still loose in the center, about 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from oven and leave in water bath until cooled.
- Remove cups from water bath and chill for at least 2 hours, or up to 2 days.
- When ready to serve, sprinkle about 2 teaspoons of sugar over each custard.
- For best results, use a small, hand held torch to melt sugar.
- If you do not have a torch, place under boiler until sugar melts.
- Re chill custards for a few minutes before serving.
- Serves 6.
Tips:
- Use heavy cream or half-and-half instead of milk for a richer custard.
- Add a flavoring agent such as vanilla extract, almond extract, or Grand Marnier to the custard for added depth of flavor.
- Be sure to strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve before baking to remove any lumps.
- Bake the custards in a water bath to prevent them from curdling.
- Chill the custards for at least 4 hours before serving to allow them to set properly.
- Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar topping just before serving.
