- In a large saucepan, bring the milk to a boil over miedium-high heat. Stir frequently to keep it from sticking.

Grandmas always know best. This was the BEST custard I've ever had! I couldn't believe it when the next day I could still pour it out of the bowl (usually puddings turn to gel after refrig.). I used non fat evaporated milk. This will be my standard recipe for custard from now on. Thanks so much Misty Cat for posting your family recipe! Roxygirl
