You Will Need:

• 4 large eggs

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

• 2 cups whole milk, lukewarm

• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

• A pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish (about 8×8 or similar) with a bit of butter or nonstick spray. Set aside.

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients
   In a large bowl, beat the eggs until light and fluffy. Add the sugar and continue whisking until the mixture becomes pale and smooth.

3. Add Flour and Butter
   Gradually sift in the flour and a pinch of salt, mixing gently to avoid lumps. Pour in the melted butter and stir until everything is well blended.

4. Incorporate Milk and Vanilla
   Slowly add the warm milk, stirring continuously. The batter will be quite liquid—this is exactly what gives the custard its creamy texture. Add the vanilla extract and give it one final mix.

5. Bake the Custard
   Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Carefully transfer to the oven and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is just set. The cake will puff up slightly and then settle as it cools.

6. Cool and Slice
   Allow to cool completely before slicing into squares. You can serve it slightly warm for a softer texture or chilled for a firmer, cheesecake-like consistency.

Final Touch:

This classic custard cake is perfect on its own, but if you want to take it a step further, serve it with a dusting of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of honey. It also pairs beautifully with berries or a light caramel sauce.

A truly comforting dessert that brings warmth to any table. Enjoy a slice with tea or coffee—and don’t be surprised when they ask for seconds! 💛
