Ingredients:

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

Directions:

  1. Heat milk in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
  2. Meanwhile, whisk together yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Add hot milk to egg mixture in a slow stream, whisking constantly, then pour custard back into saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and registers 170°F (do not let boil). Immediately strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl and stir in butter and vanilla. Chill custard, its surface covered with parchment paper (to prevent a skin from forming), until cold, 2 to 3 hours.
  4. Cooks’ notes: •Custard can be quick-chilled in an ice bath, stirring frequently. •Custard can be chilled (in refrigerator) up to 1 day.◊
