Old fashioned vanilla custard, pure and simple.

Vanilla Custard

4 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/3 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. In medium bowl, whisk eggs with sugar until well mixed and light-colored. Whisk in milk and vanilla and pour into 4 oven-proof, 6-ounce custard cups.
2. Cover each cup with small square of foil, place in steaming basket, cover, and steam until custards are just set but jiggle slightly in the center, about 20 minutes.
3. Remove from steamer and let cool 5 minutes. Refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.

Makes 4 servings.
