"LATIYA" CUSTARD
This dessert is famous among the people of Saipan. I LOVE it because it's like comfort food for me. Who can resist crackers or angel food cake with a tasty, creamy custard on top and cinnamon sprinkles to round it out?? I have made this for numerous of our friends and they absolutely love it.

Steps:
- Use a large platter to spread out Ritz crackers on the platter. Set aside Tip: Use any cake 1/2" thick slices to cover up the platter, or Graham Crackers - your option)
- HEAT ON MEDIUM: Melt butter in a pot and add milk. Add one of the cans of water. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium.
- In a separate bowl, beat eggs, add second can of water then add cornstarch ad wisk together (VERY IMPORTANT TO CONSTANTLY STIR MIXTURE IN THE POT USING A WISK)
- Add the cornstarch and egg mixture to the milk mixture and stir constantly. Add the sugar while stirring. (CONSTANT STIRRING A MUST THROUGHOUT THE COOKING PROCESS!)
- Let this boil for 5 minutes or until thickened. It may take a while to thicken, but it will. Once you feel the thickening by stirring, REMOVE THE POT AWAY FROM THE STOVE IMMEDIATELY!
