Custard!

Sorry I'm late to post! This weeks's recipe is another one of Great B's signatures - custard! 

Great B's Custard
4 egg yolks + 2 whole eggs
1/3 c honey 
2 c whole milk
2 tsp vanilla 
1 vanilla bean, split (optional)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg

In a small sauce pan heat the milk and vanilla bean until a skin starts to form on the surface of the milk, whisking occasionally.
Meanwhile, beat the eggs, honey, and salt until fluffy. I use a hand mixer, but if you're brave you can use a whisk and good, old fashioned elbow grease.
When the milk is heated, slowly pour the milk into the egg mixture while whisking constantly. Add the nutmeg and vanilla and whisk to combine. 
Pour into a loaf pan and bake in a water bath at 325 degrees for 45-60 min or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. 

Notes: Great B's original recipe called for 4 whole eggs and 1/3 c of sugar. The addition of the egg yolks and the honey (though that wasn't our goal in using honey) gives the custard an almost  creme brule like texture.  

And the Bible verse of the week!

"My purpose is that they may be encouraged 
in heart and united in love, so that they 
may have the full riches of complete understanding, 
in order that they may know the mystery 
of God, namely, Christ,  in whom are hidden all 
the treasures of wisdom and knowledge."

Colossians 2:2-3
