1 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
5 tbsp. flour
1 tbsp. cornstarch
2 c. scalded milk
3 egg yolks
3 tbsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix sugar, salt, flour and starch. Add scalded milk gradually and cook over boiling water until thickened and smooth, stirring occasionally. Beat yolks until well blended and add a little of the hot custard. Blend well and stir into remaining custard. Return to heat and cook 2 minutes. Add butter and vanilla; cool.
