Boiled Custard

Submitted by Bill Smith

Ingredients
1/3 cup Sugar
1/4 teaspoon Salt
2 well-beaten Eggs
2 3/4 cups Milk
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 tablespoon Cooking Oil
Procedure
Mix sugar, salt and 2 cups of milk and place it in the microwave. Heat until fairly hot, stirring often. Place the remaining 3/4 cups of milkin the eggs and beat. Mix some of the hot milk, sugar and salt into the eggs and cool milk, beating as you pour that mixture back into the remaining hot mixture. Once fully combined, place the full mixture back in the microwave and let it come to a boil, stirring often. Remove it when it's the consistency you desire. Add vanilla and oil. Let cool, then indulge!

Thin, it's a good cold cereal substitute for milk; thick, it's a great dessert.
