Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can I use low-fat milk or non-dairy milk in this recipe? A: While whole milk is traditional for Amish Baked Custard and provides the richest flavor and creamiest texture, you can certainly use low-fat milk or non-dairy milk alternatives if preferred. Just keep in mind that the texture and flavor may vary slightly depending on the type of milk used.
Q: Can I make this custard in one large dish instead of individual ramekins? A: Yes, you can pour the custard mixture into a single large baking dish instead of individual ramekins if desired.
