The Baked Home Inspector Bakes Custard!

     Because I love to cook----it surprised me a while back when my daughter asked me for my infamous Rice Pudding recipe and I realized that I have never really done a recipe post here in the Rain.   So here goes, it is not the infamous Rice Pudding recipe, but all it is really missing is the rice and the raisins!

Super Easy, Non-Dairy,

Baked Custard

-----with Cinnamon and Nutmeg

 

Custard

 

Ingredients:

3 cups “plain” rice milk (Pacific Foods brand preferred---although other brands and soy milk would likely be fine)

     6 eggs

     ¼ teaspoon sea salt

     4-1/2 tablespoons Agave Syrup sweetener

     Tiny pinch of Nutmeg sprinkled over the top

     Cinnamon “lightly” sprinkled to cover top

Preparation:

     Beat like crazy with a whisk (for 2 minutes, twice, 2 minutes apart), the milk, eggs, salt, and sweetener.  Place cups in a pan that is the same height (or close to it) as the cups.  Pour mix into the custard cups.  Fill the pan with hot tap-water nearly to the top of the custard line.  Sprinkle on the cinnamon and nutmeg and bake at 325 degrees F, for about 90 minutes----or until custard is set.  This varies widely with the depth and size of what you are baking the custard in.  A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.  Makes 6----1 cup size----Pyrex custard cups.

     Best chilled after baking-----then enjoy like crazy!

I'm not a big fan of the rice pudding anyway, Charles.  So, that's alright.  I might give this custard a try, though.  And, with it being non-dairy, my husband can have it and we won't have to suffer the consequences.  Thanks.

We have started using agave this past year. We are also making our own milk by soaking raw almonds overnight in water and then blending the mixture to heck the next morning. We prefer the almonds to soy milk.

Mr Charles,

Since you like to cook so much, it is surprising to me that when we go out on the town you always insist that we eat at Wendys.

Heather, I hope you will let us all know how it turns out.

Kate, I have had almond milk---I seem to tollerate the rice milk a little better.

Lucky Daughter----I think I am the lucky one---want to arm wrestle?

Craig---yup she's mine:)  (but actually she is very much her owns:)

Nutsy, you mean "Windys" don't you?

Janice----let us all know how it turns out

Jay---not good to eat orchids me thinks:)

Rita, I try to use language people can relate to:)

Yum!  I'm going for this, even though I don't tend to like the water bath recipes.  Maybe a little coconut milk in the rice milk, too?  Thanks to you and Lucky Daughter! :)

Shoshana, I cannot attest to any variations on the recipe:)

I've never heard of rice milk.  Is it a regional thing?  Or perhaps I've just never shopped the right section.  And I've not heard of syrup sweetener either.

Barbara, with so much of the nation's organic rice grown in Arkansas, I am surprised you have never heard of rice milk:)

Posted by Charles Buell, Seattle Home Inspector (Charles Buell Inspections.com) almost 3 years ago

Barbara, Just like fixed rates, milk comes in many programs. :) Kate

Mr Charles,

Be sure to add some authentic lemon juice, freshly squeezed.

Nutsy, perhaps we can get James to work on a Lemon flavored JIMQ sauce.

If it doesn't turn out I'm holding you personally responsible. Actually, I think I'll give it to the boss to do.

Jack, all won't be lost----Izzy will always like it:)

Posted by Carol Culkin, Dutchess County (Century 21 Alliance Realty Group ) almost 3 years ago
