Caramel Cake Filling

1. 1

   Put 1 cup sugar with 2 tablespoons butter into a heavy skillet. Cook over a slow fire stirring slowly until sugar is dissolved and becomes a syrup.

2. 2

   Into another boiler, break 1 egg yolk and beat, then add 1 cup of milk and set over low flame to heat (don't boil or it will curdle).

3. 3

   Add this to sugar syrup and cook until all lumps are dissolved.

4. 4

   Mix some flour and water together to make a thin paste and, if caramel is not thick enough to spread, add some a little at a time until it is the desired thickness.

5. 5

   Add vanilla and spread on cake.
