Baked Orange Custards

 

Just baked this easy peasy 'Orange Custrad' few days ago.All you need milk,sugar,egg,cream and vanilla to bake this silky sweet custards.I had never made or tried a baked custard before and really not sure the taste either so this is the time..I just halved the recipe for my preference and give it a try.

Heat the oven to 150c.Place a tea towel on the bottom of a baking dish large enough to hold six 150ml ramekins(this stop the pots moving around while cooking.)Beat the eggs,egg yolks and sugar until thick,then stir in the vanilla,milk,cream and grand marnier.Strain the mixture and stir through the orange rind.Pour into the ramekins and place them in the baking dish.Pour boiling water into the dish until its come halfway up the side of the ramekins.Carefully transfer to the oven and cook for 35-40minute,or until set.Serve at room temperature.
