Ingredients

• 2 cups whole milk
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

1. In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it starts steaming. Do not let it boil.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
3. Slowly pour the heated milk into the egg mixture while whisking continuously.
4. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
5. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the butter until melted and incorporated.
6. Transfer the custard to a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap, making sure the wrap touches the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
7. Chill the custard in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before using it as a cake filling.
8. Once chilled, the custard is ready to be used as a delicious cake filling of your choice. Enjoy!
