egg yolks, egg and sugar. Strain the boiling milk over the

Ladle into four 125ml ramekins
and place in a roasting tin. Pour enough hot water into
the tin to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake
for 30 mins, or until the custards are firm to the touch.
Leave the ramekins on a wire rack to cool, then
refrigerate until ready to serve.
