steps
- 1.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- 2.
In a saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves, then increase heat to medium-high. Allow the mixture to cook without stirring until it turns a deep amber color, around 10 minutes. Remove from heat and carefully pour caramel into four ramekins.
- 3.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and cornstarch until well combined.
- 4.
Pour the custard mixture over the caramel in the ramekins, filling them evenly.
- 5.
Place the ramekins in a large baking dish and carefully pour hot water into the dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
- 6.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custards are set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- 7.
Remove from the oven and let the custards cool in the water bath for a few minutes.
- 8.
Once cooled, remove the ramekins from the water bath and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled.
- 9.
When ready to serve, run a knife around the edges of each custard, then invert onto individual dessert plates, releasing the caramel sauce.
- 10.
Drizzle caramel sauce over the custards if desired and enjoy the creamy caramel egg custard!
