Method

To Make the Custard

In a small saucepan, warm the milk to a simmer but do not boil and set it aside. In a mixing bowl, combine the whole eggs, yolks, sugar, and salt. Slowly add the milk to the egg mixture, stirring constantly with a whisk to avoid cooking the eggs. Stir in the vanilla, cover, and set aside.
