Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place 15 half-cup canning jars in a large roasting pan.

Pour mixture into canning jars, dividing evenly.
Place pan of filled jars on oven rack.
Pour water into roasting pan to cover 1/2 - 1 inch
up the side of the canning jars. Be careful not to splash water into the custard.
Bake 30-45 minutes, until custard has puffed and no longer jiggles when shaken.
Remove pan from oven and remove jars from roasting pan to a cooling rack.
When jars have cooled to room temperature, top with lids and rings.
Place sealed jars in refrigerator. May be stored for one week.
VARIATION

Pour a small amount of syrup into the bottom of each jar and allow to cool before pouring
