Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup milk
3/4 cup sugar
10 egg yolks
2 1/4 cups heavy cream
2 1/2 tablespoons bourbon
2 tablespoon brandy or cognac
Nutmeg to taste, preferably freshly grated

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Mix the milk, sugar, egg yolks, cream, bourbon and brandy together until well blended but not frothy. Strain through a fine sieve and season with nutmeg.
  • Pour the custard into eight four-ounce ramekins.
  • Place a towel in the bottom of a baking pan large enough to hold all the ramekins. Put the ramekins in the pan on top of the towel; the towel keeps them from sliding around. Pour in enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Cover with a sheet of aluminum foil.
  • Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until the custard is firm. Allow to cool to room temperature, then chill before serving.
