from grandma’s time

Take a little of the 1/2 liter of milk and whisk it well with the cornstarch and egg yolk. Halve the vanilla pod and scrape out the excess oil. Bring the remaining milk to a boil in a saucepan with the vanilla, sugar, and salt (similar to making pudding). Turn off the heat, thicken, and simmer for half a minute. Tip: You can put the empty vanilla pods in a screw-top jar with plenty of sugar and store them in the refrigerator. This is called REAL VANILLA SUGAR.
