INGREDIENTS:

2 cups Milk

2 tablespoons Cornstarch

1/3 cup Sugar

Eggs lightly beaten

1 teaspoon Vanilla

DIRECTIONS:

Have eggs ready in a bowl, and set aside where they will be within reach.

Using a whisk, combine milk, sugar, and cornstarch in a medium saucepan over medium heat on the stovetop.

 Allow the milk to scald. (until there are tiny bubbles form around the edges of the pan)

Whisk occasionally to prevent the cornstarch from clumping on the bottom edges of the pan.

 Remove milk mixture from heat, preferably to a burner that's turned off. 

Mix about 2 tablespoons of the scalded milk mixture into eggs using a whisk, then introduce eggs into milk mixture in a slow stream, whisking milk mixture constantly.

Immediately return pan to heat and whisk gently until custard thickens, another two or three minutes.

Do not allow to boil. If you find that you have egg white strands in custard, pass it through a fine-mesh sieve into a different bowl now. (the picture up top, cheesecloth works too) 

Remove pan from heat and stir in vanilla.
