Violet Custard - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 cup violets (petals only)
3 large eggs
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
3 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
Divide the violet petals between 8 individual ramekins.
Beat together the eggs, yolks, and sugar. Blend in the milk, vanilla, and sugar.
Divide the custard among the ramekins and place them into a large baking dish.
Add enough boiling water to the large baking dish to reach half way up the sides of the ramekins.
Place the baking dish with ramekins in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes.
The custard is done when a knife inserted in the center comes out almost clean.
