What sweet treat can I make with flour, milk, eggs, sugar, and butter?
I have vanilla extract as well. Maybe a custard or pudding of some sort? Ideas please!
Answers:
If you have baking soda too, you could probably make 300 different things. Butter cookies and pound cake come to mind.

This one needs baking powder. You can skip the icing.
Petits Fours
"This is a sponge cake that it is perfect for making petits fours. Dense yellow cake that can stand up to the process of being cut into small pieces, and iced individually."
INGREDIENTS:
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup milk
5 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cups Frosting for Petits Fours
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan.
2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and egg yolks using an electric mixer. Add sugar, and beat until thick and pale, about 10 minutes. If you have a stand mixer, use the whisk attachment. Sift the flour and baking powder into the egg mixture, and fold in by hand along with the milk. Stir just until the batter is mixed. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
3. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. When finished, invert the cake pan onto a sheet of waxed paper, and cool completely. This will give you nice even petits fours.
4. Cut the cooled cake into small squares, rectangles or triangles, and arrange the pieces in rows on a wire rack or glazing screen with plenty of space between rows. Set the rack over a shallow pan or waxed paper to catch the drips.
5. Spoon or pour warmed petit four icing over the small cakes. The drippings may be scraped off of the pan or paper, and reheated for use again. Allow the petits fours to set until completely dry. Lift the cakes from the rack with a metal spatula, and trim the bottom edges with a sharp knife. Set into small muffin papers for easy handling. Decorate as desired.

Coconut Cream Pie
"A rich and smooth pie. It takes a half hour to make, but is well worth the effort!"
INGREDIENTS
* 1 cup white sugar
* 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 3 cups milk
* 4 eggs
* 3 tablespoons butter
* 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 1 cup flaked coconut
* 1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked
DIRECTIONS
1. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, flour and salt over a medium heat; gradually stir in milk. Cook and stir over medium heat until the mixture is thick and bubbly. Reduce heat to low and cook 2 minutes more. Remove the pan from heat.
2. Separate the egg yolks from whites. Beat the egg yolks slightly. Gradually stir 1 cup of the hot mixture into yolks. Return the egg mixture to the saucepan and bring the entire mixture to a gentle boil. Cook and stir 2 minutes before removing the pan from heat.
3. Stir butter, vanilla, and coconut into the hot mixture. Pour the hot filling into the baked pie crust. Cool. Cover and chill to store the pie if not serving immediately.
