Prepare the Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cornstarch, and 1 cup of the milk until smooth. Set aside.
Heat the Milk:
- In a large saucepan, heat the remaining 3 cups of milk over medium heat until it just begins to boil. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
Combine and Thicken:
- Gradually add the hot milk to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling.
- Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Add Flavorings:
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined.
Strain and Pour:
- Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl or directly into individual serving cups to remove any lumps.
Chill:
- Allow the custard to cool slightly, then cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled and set.
Serve:
- Serve the creamy custard chilled. Optionally, you can top it with a sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, or a dollop of whipped cream.
