I grew up eating this custard, and I still love it to this day! Now I like it topped with a little nutmeg. Mom always made it plain. But let me tell you, it's delish either way! An old fashioned treat! Enjoy! My Photo!

    In a large bowl, beat eggs lightly; add sugar and salt. Pour in hot milk and stir. Add vanilla and stir again. Pour into the prepared baking dish. (I like to sprinkle nutmeg across the top, just before placing in the oven)
