Saffron Honey Baked Custards
Gently baked custards flavoured with honey and saffron.
Ingredients
- 300 ml whole milk
- 150 ml double cream
- 1 small pinch saffron
- 3 eggs
- 60 g honey
Method
- Heat the oven to 150°C, 130°C fan. Warm the milk and cream with the saffron, then leave for 10 minutes.
- Whisk the eggs and honey together. Gradually whisk in the warm milk mixture.
- Strain into four 200 ml ramekins set in a roasting tin. Pour hot water into the tin to reach halfway up the ramekins.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, until just set with a slight wobble. Remove from the water, cool for 30 minutes and chill for 90 minutes.
Avoid whisking vigorously, which can leave bubbles on the custard surface.
