How to Make Baked Custard
Scald the milk. This means you’ll heat the milk until it reaches 180 degrees, near boiling. Many old recipes call for this process. It is not necessary to scald milk for safety reasons any longer due to the pasteurization process. However, scalded milk does give the custard a little bit of a smoother texture, so I do recommend taking the time to scald the milk. I made the custard both ways and even my non-professional taste testing could tell that the scalded milk custard had a smoother texture. You can scald milk in the microwave or in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. You’ll watch for the milk to start steaming and bubbling around the edges. Stir the milk constantly to prevent a film forming on top of the milk. If  you don’t have a thermometer to test the temperature, remove the milk from the heat right before it comes to a boil.

Temper the eggs. You have near-boiling scalded milk. You’ll want to pour 1 cup of that milk ever so slowly into the eggs, whisking the entire time. It is so important to drizzle slowly and whisk constantly. If you don’t, you’ll end up with  pieces of cooked eggs. Which is not going to make for a creamy custard.

Bake the custard cups in a hot water bath. What does a hot water bath do? It prevents the custard from curdling or cracking. Egg-based desserts need to cook slowly at a low temperature to keep a creamy texture, and the hot water helps to do just that. How do you make a hot water bath? Put a pot of water on the stove over medium heat and bring it to simmering, not a rolling boil. Place the custard cups in a large baking pan with sides that are nearly as tall as the custard cups. Pour the hot water around the custard cups, being careful not to spill any water into the cups. You want the level of the hot water on the outside of the cup to be just at the level of the custard. Oh…and be careful when placing this heavy baking pan into the oven. Don’t let that water spill onto your custard mixture.
