Ingredients:
2 cups milk
5 egg yolks
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon vanilla
Directions:
Pour the milk into a medium saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Heat almost to boiling point. Keep hot.
Put the 5 egg yolks into the mixing bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat at medium speed, gradually pouring in the cup of sugar. Raise speed to high and beat until mixture thickens and turns a very pale ivory color.
Beat in the flour. While still beating, gradually pour in the hot milk.
Pour and scrape contents of bowl back into saucepan. Set over medium-high heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wire whisk. It will get lumpy, but smooth back out again. When mixture comes to boil, reduce heat to low and cook 2 to 3 minutes, still stirring.
Remove from heat and beat in vanilla extract.
