3 cups Milk
1 tablespoon Vanilla
8 Egg Yolks
¾ cups Sugar
6 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons butter, softened

Directions:
In a large saucepan, combine the milk and vanilla. Scald – bring to a near boil (small bubbles will form at the sides of the pan) over medium heat stirring constantly.

Beat the yolks and the sugar until they are pale yellow and glossy. Stir in the cornstarch a bit at a time.

Pour about ½ cup of scalded milk mixture into egg yolks whisking continuously (so you do not get scrambled eggs). Add an additional ½ cup of milk at a time until about ½ of milk mixture has been incorporated into the egg yolks. Then pour the yolk mixture into the pan with the remaining scalded milk.

Cook on medium heat stirring with the whisk until mixture comes to a gentle boil. Cook for an additional 30 seconds.

Remove from heat and stir in butter.

Cover with plastic wrap that is right on the surface of the cream, to prevent a skin from forming.

Chill completely. Will keep for 3 days.
