Ingredients

• 3/4 cup C and H granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups milk
• 2 eggs

3. Beat the eggs with a fork into the remaining 1 cup milk. Stir gradually into the hot mixture and put it back on the heat.
4. Bring to a boil, stirring, and boil until it thickens a little more, about 1 minute.
