  1. A THOUSAND Times, Thank You! I didn't have to make or taste this to KNOW it was the EXACT Recipe I have been searching for! My GrandMother made it for me and I made it for my Children. However as the years and Multiple Sclerosis took over portions of my brain, I was omitting an ingredient which I was Sure was Egg(s) - even though I could vividly remember whisking them was one of my jobs. But not even Grandma Brown’s 1940 Searchlight Cookbook listed Egg as an Ingredient! I can finally serve this wonderful Cornstarch Custard, topped over Fresh Pound Cake with Sliced Strawberries as I fondly remember. I will proudly pass the Original Recipe to onto the Younger Family Members, thanks to you.
     
  2. I followed the recipe exactly As instructed. A little sweet for my taste but all in all with no subs, this one is the winner so far.
     
  3. This was exactly what I was looking for. I used whole organic milk for a creamier taste and it turned out fine, the one recommendation I would make is to cut the sugar in half, it was much too sweet for my tastes. Follow the recipe and you can't go wrong!
     
  4. This is delicious. I used one can undiluted fat free milk and made up to the 4 cups with regular skim milk. Also substituted some of the sugar with Splenda. My only complaint was that it took an awfully long time to thicken (about 35 minutes) before adding the eggs.
     
  5. very easy to make and real comfort food for a cold winter night
