This is my own alteration of a few different recipes. Not too rich or too sweet as many egg custards can be. Can be served warm immediately or cold.

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 -- .

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.

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.
