Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups Whole Milk
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 3 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp Fine Sea Salt
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the sugar, cornstarch, and salt together in a medium saucepan. Slowly whisk in 1 cup of the milk until completely smooth.
  • Whisk in the remaining milk and heavy cream, then place the saucepan over medium heat.
  • Cook while whisking continuously until the custard begins to bubble and noticeably thickens. Once bubbling, continue cooking for 1 minute to fully activate the cornstarch and remove any starchy flavor.
  • Remove the custard from the heat and whisk in the butter and vanilla until silky and smooth.
  • For warm custard, serve after cooling for about 10 minutes. For chilled custard, press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
