Instructions
HEAT 1 1/4 cups of the milk in a medium saucepan over medium-high until it starts to simmer.
WHISK sugar and yolks in a medium bowl until combined. Whisk in cornstarch and salt until smooth, then whisk in remaining 1/4 cup milk.
SLOWLY pour hot milk into yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Pour mixture back into saucepan and set over medium-low.
