Custard Sauce

""This recipe is actually part of a larger recipe I found @ realsimpledotcom, but the sauce part of the recipe "called to me". Unless a frosting is truly special, I favor eating baked goods plain or lightly dusted w/powdered sugar (or glazed). BUT these options have fairly limited uses. However, there's another option that has even greater appeal, mainly because it's versatile & ideal for so many things. A custard sauce can be served warm or cold. It's easily portable & can be used to top fresh fruit, cake or other baked goods, bread pudding, etc. You can also chg the flavor profile of a custard sauce w/the use of extracts like vanilla (used here), banana, butterscotch, cinnamon, coconut, coffee, maple, mint, peppermint, strawberry, etc. Try 1 of them & ENJOY!"..."
