Best Baked Custard

This recipe was shared by Tonya Harrison Keene after she brought it to our April 2008 luncheon. It was the perfect dessert to go with the Chicken Enchiladas, fruit salad and vegetable salad served that day. This recipe came from Tonya's Betty Crocker Cookbook. It was still slightly warm when she served it. Yummy!!!
