i followed the recipe exactly, (using flour and 2 whole eggs) which is unusual for me, ad the custard turned out great. tastes fabulous, no lumps. i thought it thickened up enough while cooling but after i began stirring in the vanilla i realized it was not thick enough for filling a cake...no probs though, just put it back on the double boiler for a few more mins and voila!!! perfect for filling the cake i made. thanks for posting.
