A sure sign of spring - the egg shelf is overflowing onto the kitchen counter! Here's one of the kids' favorite treats to make when we have too many eggs:

Chocolate Custard
2 Tbsp butter
3 cups milk
½ cup sugar
¼ cup flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
5 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla
Blend together very well (the cocoa can take a bit to stir in; I like to use my stick blender) and cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until thick. Pour into bowls and serve chilled.
