I got this recipe from my mother.
It’s afavorite among my family. So
healthy and easy to make.
Since we live on a farm with
127,000 laying chickens, we cer
tainly have plenty of eggs. That's
when I started using six instead of
4 eggs. Now that’s the only way
that my husband likes egg custard.
We enjoy our peaceful, beautiful
valley here in Juniata County. Sur
rounded by woods, pine trees, and
wildlife galore. My husband also
farms 100-plus acres of soybeans,
corn, and alfalfa and has a Chem
gro Seed dealership.

enjoy sewing potholders, which I
sell to different craft shops. I also
