Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 1/2 cups whole milk
8 large egg yolks
2/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Equipment: an instant-read thermometer

Steps:

  • Heat milk in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • 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.

I'm not a big fan of custard, but this recipe changed my mind. The custard was so smooth and creamy, and the vanilla flavor was just right. I'll definitely be making this again.
