SOUTHERN BOILED CUSTARD
A wonderful winter beverage that is part custard, and part heaven. Don't be afraid to try this recipe using almond or rum flavoring instead of the traditional vanilla extract.

Steps:
- Beat you egg yolks till well mixed.
- add your sugar.
- add your vanilla.
- add about 2 cups of your milk mix well.
- Put your mixture into a double boiler and fill up to the line with milk mix well.
- when you custard gets hot and starts to boil take your 3 tbls. of flour and water mix together no lumps then add the mixture to the custard alittle at a time this is where you decide how thick you want your custard -- should be thick, stick to the back of a spoon but not like pudding, you should be able to drink it from a glass -- i usually use all of it but when it starts stickin to the back of my spoon when i dip it into the custard i remove it from the heat -- once you remove it let it cool off before putting it in the fridge to chill --
- this step is optional, some donet like the egg whites in their custard but i prefer mine that way you dont have to add them if you dont want too -- but if you choose to try it --
- beat your egg whites till stiff -- then pour your boiling water over the egg whites and stir the whites around in the hot water this will cook them slightly -- now take a big spoon with sloths and dip the egg whites out of the water draining well and if your not sure if you will like the egg whites put them into a bowl -- when the custard is chilled -- pour you a glass and add a tbl. or so to your glass push the whites down into the custard -- then enjoy -- if you decide you like the egg whites then just add em to the whole batch of custard when you put it in you pitcher or whatever you decide to put it in -- at christmas its really pretty in a punch bowl -- .

AUNT JUNE'S BOILED CUSTARD
Steps:
- Heat the milk, cream, and vanilla bean and reserved seeds in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat just until scalded (just before the boiling point). Remove from the heat, add the sugar and salt, and whisk until the sugar dissolves. Discard the vanilla bean.
- Place the egg yolks in a medium bowl and whisk to mix. Slowly whisk about 2 cups of the milk mixture into the eggs to temper the eggs. Whisk the egg mixture back into the pan with the remaining milk mixture.
- Place over very low heat and cook, whisking constantly, for 5 to 7 minutes longer, until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, or for up to 3 days. Serve chilled.

- Let this easy recipe do double duty around the holidays and use it to make eggnog in addition to custard. When the custard comes off the heat, stir in bourbon to taste and let cool. Meanwhile, place 6 large egg whites in a glass or metal bowl and beat to soft peaks with an electric mixer. Add 1 cup heavy cream whipped to soft peaks and lightly sweetened. Gently fold the egg whites into the custard and serve chilled, topped with freshly grated nutmeg and more lightly sweetened whipped cream.
GET-WELL CUSTARD
Whenever a friend or relative was ailing, my mother-in-law would bake this fresh custard recipe and take it along when she visited. Because she brought folks this special treat so often, our family began calling it "get-well" custard! -Ruth Van Dyke, Traverse City, Michigan

OLD FASHION SOUTHERN BOILED CUSTARD
I have had this recipe for years. I make it every Christmas and give it to my neighbors as gifts. It is always a big hit. I use a candy thermometer to help judge when milk is scalded and when the custard is done.

GRANDMOTHER'S BOILED CUSTARD
This recipe has been in our family for at least 4 generations and is an absolute 'must' at Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's so sinfully rich that you'll want to serve small amounts in stemmed goblets. It's also a fab base for eggnog during the holidays and for banana pudding all year long! The secret is to be patient and pay close attention so that it doesn't overcook.

Steps:
- Break eggs into the top of a double-boiler and beat well with an electric mixer.
- Measure sugar and cornstarch into a small mixing bowl, stirring well to combine.
- Add sugar mixture, 4 cups of milk and pinch of salt to beaten eggs.
- Cook mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly; adjust heat if necessary so that water simmers constantly but does not reach a hard boil.
- Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until mixture turns an even, golden color and begins to thicken slightly (approximately 20 minutes).
- Remove top of double-boiler from heat immediately and stir in vanilla extract.
- Allow custard to cool slightly, and then check the consistency.
- If it is too thick, you may use as much as one additional cup of milk to thin it without compromising the texture or flavor (cold is fine-- no need to heat it first).
- If any solid'pips' have formed, pour custard through a mesh strainer to remove.
- (That sometimes happens if the heat gets a little too high. Won't hurt you, but they're not very appealing.) This may be served warm or cold, but we much prefer it chilled.
