[Preparation]
1. Whisk egg yolks, sugar, salt and vanilla until thick and pale in colour.
2. Bring milk to a boil in a saucepan, then pour gradually onto the egg mixture, whisking continuously.
3. Pour mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring all the time with a wooden spoon in an figure-8 direction. Do not allow the custard to boil.
4. Cook until the sauce thickens and coats the back of the wooden spoon, about 6-10 minutes. Test by running a finger over the custard on the back of the wooden spoon, the custard should not spread back onto where you run your finger over. Strain custard through a sieve if desired, but not really necessary.
5. Serve hot or cold with cakes or puddings. If cooling the custard, stir it occasionally until cold, then keep in the refrigerator.
