  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   8                    Eggs
     2/3   c            Sugar
     1/4   ts           Salt
  26       oz           Evaporated milk -- undiluted
   2       ts           Vanilla

  Traditionally this is made with a layer of caramelized sugar on the
  bottom of the pan: heat white sugar in a heavy pan until it melts
  and turns light brown, then quickly and carefully pour it into the
  baking pan and tilt the pan so it runs all over the bottom.
  
  Beat eggs, mix in sugar and salt, then milk and vanilla. Pour into
  a glass baking dish and set the dish in a pan of hot water in the
  oven at 350°F. Bake uncovered for 1 hour or until solid. I think it
  comes out better if you don't stir it while it's cooking.
