Instructions

In a bowl, mix the cornstarch with 100 ml of cold milk until you have a smooth paste with no lumps.
Heat the rest of the milk with the sugar, vanilla sugar and the pinch of salt until it just starts to simmer.
Pour the cornstarch mixture into the hot milk while whisking, then let it thicken for 2 minutes over low heat, stirring constantly.
Off the heat, whisk in the egg yolks vigorously, then put it back on very low heat for 1 minute.
Take it off the heat and stir in the butter, cut into pieces, until fully melted.
Pour into small dishes and let it rest, covering the surface with cling film to prevent a skin from forming.
