This week, I'm offering you a prize-winning recipe from the Searchlight Recipe Book. Our son wanted to learn how to make caramel, so this is the recipe we picked. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as we enjoy baking and cooking together.

Prize-Winning Baked Caramel Custard
2 cups sugar
4 cups milk, scalded
8 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1/3 teaspoon salt

Caramelize 1 cup sugar in a heavy baking pan. Turn and tilt pan until inside is well coated with caramel syrup. Let cool. Beat eggs until yolks and whites are blended. Add sugar, salt, and extracts. Add milk gradually, stirring constantly. Pour into caramel-lined pan. Set in pan of warm water. Bake in moderate oven (375 F.) until an inserted knife comes out clean. Chill thoroughly. 6 servings. Prize-winning recipe from Sadie Dow, Greeley, Iowa.
