Beat eggs.
Add sugar, continue whipping.
Stir in evaporated milk, custard paste, and vanilla essence.
Caramelize remaining sugar in a heavy pan over low heat.
Coat immediately the custard mold or baking pan with caramelized sugar.
Pour the custard into the mold/baking pan.
Place the mold/baking/pan on a rack in a pan of hot, but not boiling, water.
Bake in an oven at 325 F ((163 C) for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the custard comes out clean.
NOTE: Egg Pudding may be steamed in place of baking.
Cornstarch may be used in place of custard powder. Just add a pinch of yellow food color.
