this was good and easy. Instead of raisins, I added orange-essence dried cranberries and it was a wonderful taste. I used nonfat milk. However, I'm not sure if I did something wrong - I stirred it several times during baking, and it started out with that perfect smooth custard texture, but by the end of the baking time, the milk/egg mixture had seperated and curdled. Still a wonderful tatste though.
***a note on the curdling***
I tried this recipe a second time, and this time placed the baking dish in a hot water bath, and cooked at 275. I was told that boiling is what causes the curdling. So cook lower and longer, stir often, and use a water bath. This time I had no curdling.
