Hi made this rum custard ,very simple easy and quick ,tasted nice.But the only downsides to it ,as it wasn't enough for 4 people ,only just for 2 ,and it didnt look so nice,glossy like custard.it was more like scrambled egg in appearance ! I was surprised that the recipe had whole eggs in it instead of nornally egg yolks .i made a 2nd custard and that looked more glossy like custard should do ! -
Country-Wife, thank you for sharing this delicious custard recipe which is so quick and easy to prepare. I, too, found it to be very runny after baking it at 325 degrees for 30 minutes. It was perfect after I turned the temperature up to 350 and baked it for another 20 minutes. Next time I plan to bake it at 350 for about 30 minutes.

Made your custard this evening and it tasted wonderful. Warm custard is a true comfort food for me. Now...that said, after 30 minutes the custard was still runny. This could be because I used freshly made soy milk.(?) Anyway I turned the oven up to 350 and baked another 15 minutes and it set up nicely. I really like the hint of rum in the custard, and by the way I didn't have real rum, I used rum extract about 1 teaspoon. Also used splenda instead of sugar. Is this still your recipe? :>) But I really liked, it was easy to make and tasted great. Thanks for submitting countrywife.

I've been cooking for over 45 years now. First I made Jello pudding. Next I learned how to make cream sauce. I still like creamed tuna over toast, rice or mashed potatoes.
Many years ago I found a greeting card that said "When I retire I'm going to move to a big house in the country and live with a lot of cats...I've already got a start on the cats." I bought the store's entire stock and sent them to EVERYBODY! Well, now I'm retired, I live in a regular sized house in the country (on about 80 acres), I have a bunch of cats and feed a lot of other critters. There's a mini pig (she's still pretty big),a lop-eared rabbit, a vole who moved in under the stove, a huge flock of chickens, loads of songbirds, an opossum behind the barn(who sneaks in to eat), herons in the spring, pacific tree frogs, and the occasional coyote. We're even in the territory of a couple of golden eagles who stop by a couple of times a year.
That's a chicken on my shoulder. JC (Junior Chicken). How he ended up as an indoor chicken is a long, complicated story. JC never learned to crow right. Maybe it was being deprived of role models in his formative months.
