1 can evaporated milk
1 c. milk
1 c. sugar
2 eggs yolks
4 tbsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. vanilla flavor

Beat egg yolks and add sugar gradually. Add a little milk at a time to make creamy.

Combine evaporated milk, vanilla and milk in a heavy bottomed saucepan or in the top of a double boiler (over boiling water).

Scald the mixture over low heat (if using a double boiler, keep the water boiling underneath) until steaming hot, but not boiling. Add egg mixture slowly and mix well.

Dissolve cornstarch in 1/2 cup warm water, mixing well. Add cornstarch to milk, stirring constantly. After mixing well, slowly turn up heat and let come to a boil stirring constantly. Cook until as thick as desired.

Serve as-is, with a caramel topping, or add to bananas and vanilla wafers for banana pudding.
