  Place six 160ml ramekins in a large roasting pan. Divide the egg mixture evenly among prepared ramekins. Pour in enough boiling water to come three quarters up the side of ramekins. Bake for 1 hour 5 minutes or until the custards just wobble slightly in the centre. Stand in pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes.
