3 large eggs, well beaten
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 quart milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Dash of ground nutmeg

Combine eggs and sugar in a large saucepan; gradually stir in milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and coats a metal spoon (about 20 minutes). Cool custard slightly. Stir in vanilla extract and nutmeg; cover and chill. (This mixture is pouring consistency.)
