- "I love that these are baked in a bain-marie, as it prevents the custards from curdling."
- "This is a great dessert for a special occasion or a simple treat."
Special Precautions and Tips:
- If you don't have ramekins, you can use a 9x13-inch baking dish. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.
- Make sure the water in the bain-marie is hot before placing the custards in the oven. This will help prevent the custards from curdling.
- Let the custards cool for a few minutes before serving, as they will be very hot.
