Instructions

Pour the milk into a saucepan and bring just to a boil over medium-high heat.

Ingredients you will need

Milk

Equipment you will use

Sauce Pan

In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the sugar until the sugar starts to dissolve and the yolks turn light yellow, about 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in the hot milk, adding it in a thin stream at first so as not to cook the yolks, and then more quickly. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, without boiling, until the mixture thickly coats the back of a spoon, 4 to 5 minutes.
