Cup Custards

4 cups scalded milk 4 eggs 4 tablespoons sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt Grated nutmeg Beat the eggs with the sugar and salt; add the milk and pour into cups, grating nutmeg over each. Set the cups in a pan of hot water and bake in a slow oven until the custard is set. Test by running a silver knife through the custard: if it comes out clean the custard is done. Overcooking will make the custard “watery."
