Everything was going smoothly until I accidentally used baking powder instead of nutmeg. My guests were all very polite, but I could tell the custard was not quite right. To this day, I still laugh about my baking powder faux pas, but it only adds to the charm of the story. So, let's make sure to use nutmeg in this recipe and avoid any embarrassing mishaps.
