Nilla Pudding
3 large egg yolks 9 tablespoons sugar 3 tablespoons cornstarch 3/8 teaspoon fine sea salt 3 cups whole milk 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature) 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla To prepare: In a small bowl, whisk egg yolks with ¼ cup milk until well combined. Reserve. In a 3 quart saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt, then slowly whisk the cold milk. Over medium heat, stir constantly until simmer. Ladle ½ cup of the hot pudding into the egg yolks and whisk rapidly. Repeat 2 times. Now add the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan.

Immediately pour into serving dishes. Let cool and refrigerate 2 hours. Top with whipped cream (optional).
