This recipe was shared with me by a delightful lalafell during my time serving in the kitchens of the Ashcrown Consortium. It's a simple dessert that was originally created by the ladies of Dravania; they would serve this dessert to their Knights before long nights on Guard. The spices were added to warm the body and ward off colds since the weather could be quite unforgiving during the winter season!
Now we make it as a warming dessert during the winter months and pair it with the finest spices that the Consortium could procure~
Dravanian Baked Custard
3 Chicken Eggs
1 can of Aldgoat Milk
1 pot of honey
1 nutmeg
1 stick of cinnamon
3 Fire Shards
1 earth shard
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) Crack the eggs into a saucepan and beat well over a low heat, add the milk and honey slowly and continue to whisk.
2) Keep whisking til the custard come to a simmer, it should start to thicken by now -- Test this by dipping a metal spoon into the mixture, if it coats the back of it, then it's ready to be baked!
3) Pour the custard into a ramekin and sprinkle the top with the cinnamon and nutmeg, then place the ramekin in a water-bath and then finally put the bath and ramekin into the oven. (The water bath will prevent the custard from cracking as it bakes!)
4) Bake the custard for 35 minutes with 3 fire shards and 1 earth shard.
5) Once ready, the custard should be fully set (It will have the same consistency of a Rolanberry gelatin dessert!), please allow the custard to stand for 10 minutes before serving.
