"This delicious almond custard is one of my family's favorite comfort foods. My sister and I request that my Grandma make it for us often. I love to eat it with sliced bananas!
Spray the bottom of a medium saucepan with non-stick cooking spray (to ensure that custard won't stick to pan) and pour in milk. Scald milk (heat milk just to the point before it's going to boil-about 180 degrees). In a bowl, mix together sugar, cornstarch and flour. Add to heated milk and cook on low until thickened, stirring occasionally for 10-15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in egg yolks, 1 Tablespoon at a time, stirring constantly. Return pan to the heat and add butter and salt. Stir until butter is completely melted (2-3 minutes). Remove custard from the heat and allow to cool for 15-20 minutes. Stir in almond and vanilla extracts. Refrigerate.
TIP: This custard is delicious served alone or with sliced bananas. It would also make a delicious filling for banana cream pie.
