Jericallas (Mexican Baked Custards)

  5.0 – 3 reviews  • Desserts

You want to roast a chicken without using flour or a baking bag, but you want it to be juicy inside. If so, this dish is ideal. It is quick and simple to make. Although the chicken in the image was cooked in a bag, it was also roasted with veggies and required the bag to saturate the vegetables with chicken flavor. Without the use of a bag, I continue to promise consistently juicy chicken.

Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hr
Servings: 10

Ingredients

  1. 1 quart whole milk
  2. 1 cup white sugar
  3. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  4. 2 (3 inch) pieces cinnamon sticks
  5. 5 large eggs, beaten

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Combine milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon sticks in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 3 minutes, then turn off and allow to cool until lukewarm.
  3. Add 3 tablespoons of the milk mixture to the beaten eggs and stir to combine.
  4. Remove cinnamon sticks from the milk and discard. Gradually beat eggs into the lukewarm milk mixture until combined. Pour mixture into ramekins and place them in a large roasting tin. Add enough water so it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until tops are lightly browned, about 40 minutes. Check the water level every so often so it does not cook dry, adding more water if needed.
