Low Fat Baked Custard Recipe

I love baked custard. It was one of those old fashioned puddings that my nan and my mum would make for us often. I have adapted the one that my mum used to make it suitable for people either counting calories or who want a low fat alternative.

INGREDIENTS:

1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
300 mls low-fat milk ( I use hi-lo)
3 tablespoons sugar substitute ( I use splenda as it doesn't contain aspartin)

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 180C.
Beat egg and egg yolk together until well beaten.
Add the milk, splenda (granular) and vanilla essence and beat together until frothy.
Pour custard into a small ovenproof dish. Stand this in a pan that has boiling water about 1/4 way up the pan.
Bake for about 40 minutes or until cooked through.
