Step 1

Blen 1/2 c. milk with cornstarch, add 3 1/2 c. milk to the cornstarch mixture. Combine with hot mixture. Cook until thick (about 10 minutes). Pour into slightly beaten egg yolks and return to double boiler for 5 minutes. Remove, add butter and vanilla. When cool, stir vigorously and remove lumps. Add whip cream.
