    Beat until light yellow.
    Take 5 cups of milk (pour 1/2 cup into small bowl and add the 8 tablespoons cornstarch and mix) and put remainder of milk into a large saucepan to slowly bring it to scalding.
    When the milk is scalded or ready to boil, slowly add this to the cornstarch mixture which has been added to the egg yolk mixture.
    Stir constantly.
    Pour back into saucepan and stir constantly, until it thickens.
    When thickened, pour over Kontaifi in the Pyrex dish.
    Let cool.
    Then put towel over it and cover with aluminum foil.

    Early the next day, whip up to 1/2 kilo whipping cream and add 3 tablespoons powdered sugar.
    Spread this whipped cream nicely over custard in Pyrex and replace in fridge.
