French Filling

Ingredients

• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract

Instructions

Heat the milk to scalding in a double boiler. Mix the sugar, flour, and salt. Pour the hot milk over this, and stir rapidly to prevent the formation of lumps. Return to the double boiler and cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Beat the eggs slightly and add them to the mixture. Cook for 5 minutes longer. Add the flavoring, cool, and place between layers of cake or use for filling cream puffs or éclairs. Half of the recipe will be sufficient for cake filling.
