My Grandmother's Floating Island Custard


desserts

1 quart sweet milk
2 eggs, well beaten
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla

(My Grandmother was born in 1873 - this was HER mother's recipe!) DIRECTIONS (As I recall watching her make it): Cook milk, eggs, sugar and cornstarch until thickened. Remove from heat, add vanilla. Cool and refrigerate. NOTE: This custard is the consistency of gravy. Grandmother always kept this in a quart jar and it was always served with her homemade Angel Food Cakes.
