Step 1: Slightly beat to mix well--eggs, sugar, and salt.
Step 2: Heat the milk and add slowly to the egg mixture, stirring all the while; add the vanilla.
Step 3: Place the custard cups into a baking dish or pan; fill them with the egg mixture, and then add hot water to the baking dish.
Step 4: Grate fresh nutmeg on the top of each one and bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or till a silver knife comes out clean when thrust into the center of the custard.
Step 5: NOTE: Usually the time listed above is good for me and my oven and I don't need to check it with a knife.
