Manu's Egg Custard

2 c. Mild, scalded. Set aside
3 eggs beaten till lemon colored
1/2 t. salt
3 T. sugar, beat together
Add 1 t. vanilla

Scald milk and set aside. Beat eggs until lemon colored. Add sugar and salt. Gradually add scalded milk, tempering it so as not to scramble eggs. Fill custard cups and place custard cups in a dish of water and bake at 300 degrees for about an hour. To test doneness, insert a knife. If done, it will come out clean. Makes 4 custard cups.

My grandmother Gala Pruett used to make this for my grandfather after he had his teeth pulled (for false teeth!)
