Pro Tips for Perfect Tasty Amish Baked Custard:

2. Gentle Mixing: Whisk ingredients carefully to avoid incorporating excess air.
3. Water Bath Success: Use hot water halfway up the dish's sides for even baking.
4. Perfect Doneness: Look for a slight jiggle in the center - it will set while cooling.
