This is the first thing I ever remember making. My Granny wasn’t keen on having anyone in her kitchen, until I came along. As soon as I was big enough to drag a chair across her kitchen floor, I was helping her create magical southern delicacies. We made at least one Egg Custard each week. She taught me a lot about cooking and life in her kitchen. That is where my love for cooking and teaching blossomed. I am the only person in our family now that makes them and they taste exactly like Granny Moody’s.
