Almond marzipan cream (frangipane)

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
  a custard, whisking steadily and adding the sugar and the almonds little by
  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.
