Fillings

2 tablespoons butter.

1/3 cup sugar

Add . . . 1/2 cup cold milk and stir until smooth. Add to hot milk; stir constantly until thick.

Blend in . . . 2 slightly beaten egg yolks, to which a little of hot mixture has been added. Cook about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Cover; cool.

PINEAPPLE FILLING
