1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk
2 tbsp. cornstarch
2 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
pinch of salt

In a small, heavy saucepan, whisk milk and cornstarch until blended. Whisk in eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla. Cook over medium low heat, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens and you can see the bottom when whisking. Cool.

Makes enough to fill a 9-inch pan.
