1 Cake
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | quart | Sweet milk |
| 2 | Eggs, well beaten | |
| ¼ | cup | Sugar |
| 1 | tablespoon | Cornstarch |

Directions
(My Grandmother was born in 1873 - this was HER mother's recipe!) DIRECTIONS (As I recall watching her make it): Cook milk, eggs, sugar and cornstarch until thickened. Remove from heat, add vanilla. Cool and refrigerate.
NOTE: This custard is the consistency of gravy. Grandmother always kept this in a quart jar and it was always served with her homemade Angel Food Cakes.
