VARIATION
Bread and butter custard, add 3-4 slices of fruit bread to the custard before cooking. Add 5 minutes extra cooking time.

CREME CARAMEL
Make caramel by combining 1 cup sugar with ½ cup water in a small saucepan. Stir on a moderate setting until sugar has dissolved. Increase heat and boil steadily without stirring until a deep golden caramel. Pour caramel into the base of 6-8 individual ramekins. Top with custard mixture. Cover and steam 90°C for 20 minutes or until set when tested.
