Ingredients:	Ingredients: ½ Gallon Milk 1 ⅔ cups sugar 4 heaping Tbsp flour 2 eggs, separated 1 tsp vanilla

Directions:	Directions: Heat milk until scalding. Beat egg whites until stiff. Mix sugar and flour together. Beat egg yolks, mix with a little milk add to the sugar and flour and beat until foamy. Temper the egg mixture with a bit of the scalded milk. Add that mixture slowly to the scalded milk, stirring well, then cook on medium heat for 10 minutes until mixture thickens a bit. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites and chill. Once chilled, add in vanilla and nutmeg to taste.

Personal Notes:	Personal Notes: This was a family favorite but it's damn tricky to make. Grandma's recipe is short on instructions. If you're not careful when you incorporate the eggs you'll get a curdled mess. But if you get it right, it's marvelous. Grandma and my mom always served this with peanut butter and saltine sandwiches!
