Ingredients:

  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 8 large egg yolks
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Directions:

  1. Heat milk in a 2 1/2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until hot but not boiling.
  2. While milk heats, whisk together yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a heatproof bowl until smooth.
  3. Add 1 cup hot milk to yolk mixture in a stream, whisking, then add remaining milk, whisking constantly. Transfer mixture to saucepan and cook over moderately low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and registers 170°F on thermometer, 6 to 10 minutes (do not boil).
  4. Immediately force custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl and stir in butter and vanilla. Chill custard, its surface covered with wax paper, until cold and thickened, at least 3 hours.
  5. Cooks' notes: • Custard can be cooled quickly by setting bowl in a larger bowl of ice and cold water and stirring occasionally. • Custard can be chilled, its surface covered with wax paper and bowl covered tightly with plastic wrap, up to 2 days.
