 Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F).  In a skillet, melt the butter

 slightly thickened.  Heat the milk and sugar together and bring
 it to a boil.  Remove from heat.  Pour the milk slowly into the
 eggs, stirring constantly until well blended.  Pour over papaya
 in the baking pan.  Cover with foil.  Bake in the preheated oven
 for 20 to 25 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean.
