FAQ
Stirred custards are cooked in a saucepan until thick but still liquid in consistency, while baked custards are usually cooked in ovenproof dishes in a water bath or bain-marie until set.
There are three types of custard: baked, stirred, and frozen. Baked custards include bread pudding, flan, and cheesecake, and are prepared by baking in an oven or water bath. Boiled Custards include beverages like eggnog. Puddings, creme anglaise (krem on-GLAYZ), and pastry cream are some examples of stirred custards.
Also the direct heat of an oven can be quite harsh, which may also be another of the causes of the weeping. We would suggest that the custard is cooked in a water bath, or bain marie, instead of directly on the oven shelf.

Custard is a thing in the U.S. but we usually associate the word custard with a thick pudding rather than custard sauce.
