InstaPot Egg Custard

A casual conversation with Madam BadWolf, turns into an obsessive craving. Whilst discussing meals our grandparents used to make the topic of egg custard, creme brulee, banana pudding, and all sorts of other custard based dishes was discussed.

From there an insatiable craving for rich, cool, thick, creamy pudding arrose, and from there the need to create, and from the need to create, this recipe.

Whilst, this is set for ramekins, lets be honest. This is going into mugs, so one may need to add an additional minute or so to the cook time. It all depends on just how large the mug(s) are.

This is a basic recipe, one can do all sorts of swaps and add ins in this. As always, getting there is part of the adventure. But look for future posts in this.

Notes

This is a basic recipe.

One can use heavy cream and go for a cream brulee, you can add additional spices and flavorings such as cinnamon and lemon for a Catalan flair.

One can add a caramel sauce to the ramekins, before filling an have a "back to the flan" experiance.
