Ingredients 

Instructions

  • Place milk, sugar and cinnamon, vanilla in a saucepan over medium heat
  • Stir constantly for about 20 minutes. After everything has mixed well, turn off the heat and let it cool slightly for about 10 minutes. The liquid should be smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until blended. 
  • Then add eggs to the milk mixture mixture, stirring constantly
  • Using a sieve or fork and remove the cinnamon pieces
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180C)
  • Pour mixture equally among 6 ramekin pots or heat-resistant dessert dishes
  • Place ramekin pots in a deep pyrex dish and add boiling water into the pyrex dish, taking care not to add water to ramekin pots.
  • Fill the pyrex dish about halfway of the pots or about 1 inch (bain marie)
  • Bake in oven for 35 minutes
  • To check if it is ready, place a toothpick in the center of one of the ramekin pots. If it comes out clean, the jericalla is ready.
  • Optional. To give the jericalla a burned effect, brown the ramekin pots under broiler for an extra 4 to 6 minutes or until tops are golden
