- Pour mixture into custard cups or 1 ½-quart baking dish. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon, nutmeg or both.

I just made this custard, it turned out pretty good but I forgot the vanilla and I baked it in a 1 1/2 qt baking dish had to bake it for almost an hour and a half. But it was still pretty good. Put it outside to cool for and hour and it set up beautifully
