3. For the cream: heat the milk almost to a boil. In a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs, add salt and sugar. Beat until smooth and immediately add the cornstarch and mix well to avoid lumps. Pour about a third of the milk into the egg mixture in a thin stream, stirring constantly to prevent the egg from curdling. Then pour this mass back into the milk, also in a thin stream and stirring constantly, bring to a thickening and remove from the heat and add butter and a little vanilla to the hot cream. Cover the cream with cling film and let it cool well.
