Amish Baked Custard
This luscious custard is so creamy and so filled with vanilla flavor that
it’s no wonder people have been loving it for generations. It can be a
nostalgic treat for many and well worth the bake time to recreate a dessert
that holds such fond memories.

1 (14oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 4 cups hot water
- 6 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
