TOTALLY non rabbit related, but I HAVE to share!
We have chickens. lots of chickens. Which means I have lots of eggs. So I've been making baked custards. Today I was hunting around in the cupboard and dug up some black walnut extract. I'm a little tired of plain vanilla/nutmeg so I thought..hmm.....let's try it.
I HAD tried a rum flavor one once...NOT so good. But this one...HOLY TRIPPING TASTEBUDS, Batman!
Heat oven to 325F.
7 eggs, mixedup
4 cups milk, heated (scalded, then cooled slightly)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar
1tsp black walnut extract (or other types)
1tsp vanilla extract
beat eggs slightly, add in sugar and salt. SLOWLY mix in warm milk, then whisk in the extracts.
Pour into either a 2quart casserole, or custard cups (I use jelly glasses for individual custards). At this point I often grate nutmeg over the top. Put the custards into a larger pan (like a cake pan) that you put 1" HOT water in. Bake for 45minutes. Test with a knife blade..it should come out clean.
cool slightly to eat fresh, or chill thoroughly for a lovely lovely dessert.
