Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I like to take some of the cream and mix it with the custard to lighten the flavor. The recipe actually calls for just 4 eggs but I like 6 better for volume. Recipe easily doubles for 9x13 pan. This is the first recipe I wrote Grandma Evie for as a new Army bride in Missouri.
