Ingredients
1 1/2 cups milk, divided
1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 egg yolks
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
HEAT 1 1/4 cups of the milk in a medium saucepan over medium-high until it starts to simmer.
WHISK sugar and yolks in a medium bowl until combined. Whisk in cornstarch and salt until smooth, then whisk in remaining 1/4 cup milk.
SLOWLY pour hot milk into yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Pour mixture back into saucepan and set over medium-low.
CONTINUE cooking, whisking constantly, until mixture has thickened and coats the back of a wooden spoon, about 8 min. Stir in vanilla.
COOL over an ice bath, stirring, for 10 min.
