Muscovado Custards

Submitted by McCarthy

"Taken from 'Waitrose Food' magazine - these easy custards perfectly highlight the fudgy intensity of both dark sugars used. But the best thing about this pudding? its complexity of flavour comes from the ingredients rather than any complicated culinary techniques - per serving 233 kcals/20g fat/12g saturated fat/0.1 salt/11g sugars"

3. Place the ramekins in a deep roasting tin, fill the tin with boiling water until it comes to about a third of the way up the sides of the ramekins. Put in the oven.
