6 egg yolks
1/4 c. Fruit Sweet
1/2 c. flour
2 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tbsp. butter

In a medium bowl, beat egg yolks and Fruit Sweet until thick and pale. While continuing to beat, gradually sift in flour.

Pour into a saucepan and place over low heat on the stove and gradually add milk and vanilla. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture has thickened to a custard consistency, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat.

Melt butter and pour over custard to prevent a skin from forming while it cools. Makes 3 cups.
