Custard

1 dozen eggs
1 gallon of milk
1 T. vanilla
2 c. sugar
1 10-oz. bag of miniature marshmallows

In a large pan that can be placed over a double boiler, beat eggs well. Add milk and stir well. Place over double boiler that is on medium heat. Cook slowly. As mixture begins to warm, add sugar. Stir constantly until mixture thickens and coats the back of a metal spoon. Remove from heat and add vanilla and marshmallows. Place pan in ice water and stir 2 minutes to cool. (Note: Cooking this amount takes patience and time!

Don't try to hurry the process or you will end up with scrambled eggs.) When you are ready to pour into a jar to store, I would suggest straining it with a sieve to eliminate any small pieces of egg that may have cooked up. Stir custard each time you serve it.
