Instructions
- 1In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, flour, and salt until well combined. This should take about 5 minutes.
- 2In a double boiler over simmering water, slowly whisk in the milk. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the custard is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 25 minutes. Be careful not to let the water boil, as this can curdle the eggs.
- 3Remove the custard from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let it cool completely before serving. Serve cold.
