Ingredients (for 4–6 servings):
- 500 ml milk

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or 1 packet of vanilla sugar)
- 50 g butter (at room temperature)

- Mix the egg yolks In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture becomes smooth and pale.
- Combine Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture while whisking constantly to avoid curdling.
