Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups milk
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons butter

  • Whilst the milk boils; separate the eggs and discard the whites (if desired, you can set aside for an omlette or a meringue)and beat the cornstarch and sugar in the bowl with the egg yolks. It will have a hard time coming together at first; but keep whisking, it'll get there.

Time 4h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings (about 4 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 1/2 cups whole milk
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
Kosher salt
5 large egg yolks, beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Stir-ins (optional), see below for suggestions

Steps:

  • Heat 4 cups of the milk in a large saucepan over medium heat until steaming.
  • Whisk the sugar, cornstarch and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Whisk in the egg yolks and the remaining 1/2 cup milk.
  • Whisk half of the hot milk into the egg mixture until smooth, then gradually whisk the egg-milk mixture into the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture boils.
