1 3/4 c. sugar
3 egg whites
8 egg yolks
2 lg. (13 oz.) cans evaporated milk
2 tsp. vanilla
6 tbsp. brandy or rum

Put 1 cup sugar into a deep baking pan or loaf pan. Place over heat and stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, melt sugar. When it turns golden brown, remove from heat and tilt pan so caramel coats inside evenly. Cool.

Meanwhile, beat egg whites and yolks with remaining sugar, milk and vanilla. Strain mixture into the caramel-coated pan. Cover with lid or foil. Place pan in a larger pan containing an inch of hot water. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. To serve, turn onto a serving platter. Serves 8-12.
