Ingredients

4 servings
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 2 ¾ cups whole milk
  • ¾ cup half and half (or light cream)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk granulated sugar, cornstarch, and a tiny pinch of salt (before putting it on the stove). Add egg yolks, milk, and cream. Whisk to combine.

  2. Heat the egg mixture over medium-low heat while whisking, until it begins to boil. This will take about 15 minutes. Once boiling, let bubble for 1 minute while continuing to whisk.

  3. Remove from the heat and stir in butter and vanilla.

  4. Pour into a medium bowl and cover with plastic wrap allowing the wrap to rest on the surface of the warm custard.

  5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled.
