Caramel Custard

I have a sweet tooth. So I try to find out easy recipes to satisfy my sweet cravings . Caramel custard is one of them. Easy to make, you cant go wrong with it.

Ingredients

Sugar - 1 cup
Milk - 2 cups
Eggs - 3
Vanilla Essence

Preparation Time: 15 mins
Cooking Time : 30-45 mins

Prepare Caramel :

Take half a cup of  sugar with 1 spoon water and heat it on a pan till it melts. Make sure to keep stirring else sugar will burn.

1. Once caramel is prepared, pour the caramel in to the vessel you will use for baking the custard.

2. Take a bowl, pour milk, remaining sugar, eggs and 1-2 drops of vanilla essence and beat well.

3. Now pour this mixture into the vessel in which the caramel is at the base. Make sure only 3/4 of the vessel is full.

4. Bake it in an oven preheated to 350 F for about 30 - 45 mins. Keep checking in between.

5. Once you take it out. Allow it cool and refrigerate it.

6. To serve, take the vessel and place a plate over it and turn the vessel gently (This is the tricky part, if you dont do it right, you will have a broken custard , but it will taste equally good :)  )

Serve with strawberries .
