Method
In a pot, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar, cornstarch and 1 cup cold milk until smooth with no lumps.
Add the rest of the milk and set the pot over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Keep stirring for 6–8 minutes until it thickens and coats the back of the spoon.
Take it off the heat and stir in the vanilla and butter until melted.
Divide into cups, press cling film onto the surface, and serve warm or after 2 hours in the fridge.
