1 quart milk, 3 tablespoonfuls corn starch dissolved in a little cold milk, 3 eggs, 1/2 teacupful sugar; flavoring, lemon or vanilla, or, according to taste, white sugar.
Put the milk in a saucepan and allow it to boil. Add to the corn starch (mixed in the milk) the yolks of the 3 eggs beaten, the sugar and flavoring; stir in the scalding milk, continue stirring until the mixture is of the consistency of custard.
