Comfort Food - Stirred Custard

My mother used to make this for me when I was sick. It requires a double boiler, but you can put a heat resistant bowl on top of a pot on the burner. It is a soothing, easy to eat treat.

- Two cups warmed milk
- 2 eggs beaten until lemon-colored with
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- dash of salt


Slowly add warmed mild to beaten eggs and sugar in the top of a double boiler (see note above), stirring constantly. Over medium heat (gently boiling water) cook, stirring constantly until the mixture coats the spoon. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla.
