Ingredients:





     3    Eggs


     3 oz (3/4 cup) all purpose flour


     2 c  Milk


     4 oz (1/2 cup) sugar


     6 oz (3/4 cup) ground almonds






 You will need 2 bowls, a saucepan, and a baking dish. Beat the eggs


 together.  Mix the flour with a little of the milk, and then stir into the


 rest of the milk and the beaten eggs. Cook the mixture over low heat like

 little.  When thick, remove from the heat and pour into an oiled baking


 dish. When it is cold, cut into squares like Turkish delight. Serve as a


 special treat for holidays.
