Vanilla Custard

List of Ingredients




1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 egg yolks
3 cups milk
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Recipe



1. Bring first 5 ingredients to a boil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat (about 20 minutes), whisking constantly. Boil, whisking constantly, 1 minute or until thickened. Remove mixture from heat.
2. Stir in butter and vanilla. Pour into 4 custard cups. Place heavy-duty plastic wrap directly on surface of custard (to keep "skin" from forming). Chill 2 hours.
