Personal Notes:
This recipe, from the old, worn cookbook that I bought from a dorm mate while at Auburn (the first 8 pages have disappeared over the years), is tried-and-true. It is an American version of creme bruleé or flan, except not as rich. It is a very light dessert and; with the addition of some whipped cream and fruit, makes a dessert fancy enough for company.
