General Rules:

Scald the milk in a double boiler. Beat eggs slightly, add sugar and salt and the scalded milk gradually. A moderate temperature is necessary in cooking custards to prevent curdling. Cool cup custards before turning out.

Soft Custards

Cook custard in double boiler, stirring constantly until mixture coats the spoon. Strain. Cool and flavor.

Baked Custards

Strain uncooked custard into cups previously wet with cold water. Place in pan of hot water in moderate oven until firm.

Test : A silver knife inserted in custard will come out clean when custard is firm enough.
