Baked Custard

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk eggs, sugar and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Stir in milk, water and vanilla to combine thoroughly. Divide evenly among four 8-ounce or six 6-ounce ramekins. Sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg (or a combination). Place ramekins in a 13- by 9-inch baking pan; fill pan with hot water to 1-inch depth around cups. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes (or until a knife inserted in the center will come out clean). Remove cups to cool on a wire rack. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Makes 4 to 6 servings
