INGREDIENTS
8 eggs
1 cup maple syrup, divided
4 cups milk
DIRECTIONS
Lightly butter a large, flat casserole that will fit into a larger roasting pan.
Heat water
that will be used to create a water bath for the custard. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Whip eggs in blender or with a mixer until a good head of foam or froth is created.
Stir
in 1/2 cup maple syrup and all the milk. Strain to create a smooth mixture.
Pour mixture into buttered casserole. Place casserole with roasting pan into preheated
oven. Add water to roasting pan to cover 1/2 the depth of the custard mixture.
Heat remaining maple syrup until reduced by half.
After about 30 minutes, when a crust
is formed on top of the custard, drizzle reduced syrup over the top of the custard.
Return to
oven and bake an additional 20-30 minutes until a knife comes out clean.
Remove from oven and cool before serving. Cover and refrigerate leftovers.
