Caramel Custard at 3.30am

Happy 18th day of Ramadhan!

Yeah, 18 days already. Another 12 days to go. Or it could be 11 more days. I think it's another 11 more days to go... But I could be wrong.

Anyway, I just got a new kitten. Yes. My third kitten. No pix yet. She's lovely. My nephew and I "rescued " her from a stall in Kuah. She's lovely. Kinda looks like the Russian Blue I've been eyeing that would've cost me an arm and a leg.

Why am I still up at this time? Lemme rephrase that question. Why am I still up and blogging at this time? It's because I'm digesting. Hahaha...

I taught my nephew how to make a killer-super-delicious Caramel Custard!

Basically it's one of the few recipes I happened to remember. This is my moms' version.

The other 2 were given to me by my sisters, so 2 sisters, 2 recipes.

Luckily my other sister is not fond of cooking desserts, but she makes good Laksa and Nasi Lemak and Gulai Sardin with Potatoes *gulp saliva.

So here's a recipe for the Caramel Custard we just ate at 3.30am.

Yeap. We ate it warm because cannot tahan d... Hahaha...

Caramel Custard (12 inch baking tin/ 4 4-inch baking tins. Serves 8.)

Ingredients

6 Large Eggs
1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk+ 1 can Water
1 capful Vanilla Essence
1 tbsp Flour
Salt

*1 tbsp Sugar


The Method

1. Mix everything well and put aside.

2. Pour sugar into baking tin. Caramelize sugar.

3. Pour in egg+milk into baking tin.

4. Steam for 20 minutes or until cooked thoroughly (check by poking a knife into the custard- if the knife comes out clean, it's done).

5. Leave to cool and serve chilled with fruits of choice (peaches, tangerine, pineapple and the newly discovered- canned strawberries goes very well with custard).
