1
In a large saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt until smooth and free of lumps.
2
Gradually whisk in the full-fat milk and heavy cream until well combined.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks lightly.
4
Put the saucepan on the stove over medium heat.
5
Continually whisk the mixture in the saucepan to prevent lump formation.
6
Once it starts to thicken slightly, lower the heat and carefully pour about half of this mixture into the beaten yolks in a steady stream, while continuously whisking to prevent the yolks from scrambling. This process is known as tempering.
7
Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan and return to medium heat.
8
Heat the mixture while stirring continuously until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
9
Remove from heat and whisk in the small pieces of unsalted butter and the scraped seeds of the vanilla bean.
10
Transfer to a heat-resistant container, directly covering the top of the pudding with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
11
Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours before serving. Be aware that the pudding will continue to thicken as it chills.
