By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 4 cups (1 quart) milk
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

In a large saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and eggs. Cook over medium heat for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the mixture comes to a boil, whisking frequently.

Once the mixture begins to boil, whisk constantly for 5 to 6 more minutes until it coats a spoon and is shiny.

Whisk in the vanilla and remove from the heat. Let cool slightly before using.

Makes about 1 quart.
