| Few desserts are as comforting as a classic smooth custard. With only a few ingredients and about 15 minutes of preparation, this timeless recipe yields a rich, silky treat. The custard is traditionally baked in individual cups, but it can also be made in a single baking dish. If serving this way, let it cool completely without stirring, as the delicate custard may break and become grainy.

Any kind of milk can be used here, even non-dairy. If you don't want it as eggy, use 2 yolks rather than 3.
