Ingredients

4 cups whole milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon butter
4 eggs eggs
0.5 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

Prepare all the necessary ingredients.
In a saucepan, combine milk, vanilla extract, and butter.
Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture simmers. Remove from heat just before it boils.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, and cornstarch until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Return the saucepan to low heat. Gradually pour in the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Continue until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5 to 10 minutes.
Serve immediately while warm or transfer the custard to a large bowl and cover.
Let it cool completely before refrigerating. Serve chilled and enjoy!
