Coconut Custard instructions

1. Preheat oven at 350.
2. Lightly butter 6 ramekins.
3. Heat a full kettle of water to boiling, plus a pot of water if you think you will need more (I do).
4. Heat milk to very hot but not boiling.
5. Lightly beat eggs.
6. Add sugar, vanilla and salt, beat until sugar is dissolved.
7. Very slowly beat in hot milk.
8. Add coconut.
9. Pour into ramekins, dust with nutmeg.
10. Place ramekins in a deep baking pan, place baking pan on center rack in oven pulled out just far enough to very carefully add boiling water to pan. Water should come at least halfway up the ramekins. Be careful not to overfill, when you push the pan all the way into the oven you do not want the water to slosh into the custard.
11. Bake about 30 minutes, until set and firm.
