2 eggs or 4 yolks, slightly beaten
1/4 c. sugar
2 c. scalded milk
1/2 tsp. salt

Combine and cook in double boiler over water which is hot, but not boiling and not deep enough to touch bottom of inset pan. Stir constantly until sauce coats the spoon or begins to thicken slightly. Remove from hot water and set pan immediately in cold water. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla, stir again and chill until ready to use. Very good over angel food cake.
