2 c. evaporated milk
8 egg yolks
1 tsp. lemon rind or vanilla
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. caramel syrup

Scald the milk in double boiler 15 minutes. Beat egg yolks and then add sugar, milk and flavoring. Pour into 1-quart mold. Place this in large pan half-filled with water. Steam or bake for about 1 hour or until mixture becomes firm. Cool before removing from mold.

(If desired, line mold with the caramel syrup before pouring in mixture for steaming or baking. To make caramel syrup, melt 1 cup sugar in heavy metal container. As soon as sugar is golden brown, add 1/2 cup hot water to dissolve caramelized sugar and form syrup.) Set oven at 350 degrees for baking.
