Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 egg yolks

1. Bring first 5 ingredients to a boil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat (about 20 minutes), whisking constantly; boil, whisking constantly, 1 minute or until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Place heavy-duty plastic wrap directly on surface of custard (to keep skin from forming); chill 2 hours.
