  • Pinch of salt and a splash of vanilla to hit that balanced flavor

Instructions

  • Whisk 2 cups of milk with 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup cornstarch until it’s smooth. No lumps allowed, friend.

  • Beat in 2 eggs one at a time if you’re going the custard route, then add a splash of vanilla and a pinch of salt.
