Step 4: Prepare the Water Bath
Divide the custard mixture evenly among the buttered ramekins and sprinkle a little nutmeg on top. Place the baking dish in the oven and carefully add hot water to the dish until it reaches about halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Step 5: Bake the Custard
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the edges are set while the center still moves slightly when the ramekin is gently shaken.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Remove the ramekins from the water bath right away to stop the cooking process. Allow them to cool for about 20 minutes at room temperature. Serve warm, or refrigerate if you prefer a firmer texture.
