Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a saucepan (or a deep 2-quart glass bowl for microwave), whisk together the sugar, flour, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
  2. Gradually whisk in the milk and eggs (or egg yolks) until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens and comes to a full boil, boiling for 1 minute to cook out the flour taste. Alternatively, microwave at full power for 8 minutes, stirring every 2-3 minutes, until thickened.
  4. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the butter and vanilla until fully incorporated.
  5. Allow the filling to cool for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, before pouring it into the baked and cooled pastry shell.
