Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium heat until it comes to a simmer.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is well combined.
  • Gradually add about 1/2 cup of the hot milk to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the saucepan with the remaining hot milk and whisk to combine.
  • Cook the custard mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the custard mixture into serving dishes.
  • Allow the custard to cool to room temperature before serving, or chill in the refrigerator for a firmer texture.
