1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup cold water

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, eggs and water. Heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture is completely stirred in. Simmer, stirring frequently, for about 30 minutes, or until mixture is thick and creamy.
Remove from heat. In a small mixing bowl, beat egg yolks until soft peaks form. Beat in 1 cup cold water. Stir in 1/2 cup sugar and evaporated milk. Fold egg yolks and 1 cup of sugar mixture into custard. Spread into baked pastry shell. Chill 12 hours or overnight before serving.
