In small pot add milk, cream. Measure out the cornstarch into a small bowl and set that aside also. Heat the milk/cream mixture until it is scalded and forms a slight skin on the surface.

Lastly, add the cornstarch paste and whisk in again. Add this back into the pot and put back on a gentle heat, constantly whisking until it has thickened. Once it has thickened, add the butter pieces and stir well until the butter has melted. Pass this entire mixture through a sieve into your storage bowl.

Allow this to completely cool at room temperature before placing it in the refrigerator.
