3 eggs (or 5 egg yolks)
1 pt. milk
1/8 tsp. vanilla
1 c. evaporated milk (cream)
3/4 c. sugar
Pinch salt

Heat milk and evaporated milk (cream) to scalding. Beat eggs in deep bowl until they are light and creamy (can not beet too much). Add sugar and salt. Pour milk into egg mixture. Cook in double boiler until mixture coats spoon (about 10 minutes), stirring constantly. Add vanilla. You can use light evaporated milk and 2% milk and it will taste just as good.
