Instructions: Combine milk, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil. Add vanilla bean to hot milk and allow to steep 15 minutes off heat. (Or stir in vanilla extract.) Sift sugar, cornstarch, and cocoa together. Mix in eggs.

Remove bean, if used, from milk mixture. Add some of the hot milk mixture to the egg mixture and combine well. Then pour the egg mixture into the remaining milk mixture and combine. Bring to a second boil. Remove from heat and stir in butter. Pour into mold and chill.

(If there is a way to measure egg quantities based on pounds and ounces, I dont know it. If its in the FAQ and I missed it, I apologize.)

[*] Ed. note: The submitted recipe said "1 pound, 13 oz eggs". Im pretty sure thats "1 pound and 13 ounces of eggs" not "1 pound of 13 ounce eggs". But since Ive never seen eggs listed by weight, Im not totally sure.
