Boiled Custard.

This is another family recipe from Lorraine's side. This is traditional nourishment for those in the family (and close friends) who are very sick, but it is really good anytime. And it is very simple to make. Boiled Custard 2/3 cup sugar 1 heaping tsp flour 2 eggs, well beaten 1 pint milk, 2% or higher (I use half & half.) 7-10 marshmallows 1/2 tsp vanilla Mix sugar and flour well. Add eggs, mix well, and add milk and marshmallows. Cook slowly in double boiler until it coats a spoon. Cool and add vanilla.

(Edit 7/23/2022: made a batch without marshmallows and added a healthy pinch of salt - it was declared the best batch ever.)
