Step 2: Whisk the Custard Base
In a bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Gently add sugar, salt, and vanilla, stirring until fully combined.
Tip: Whisk gently to avoid creating bubbles, which can make the custard surface look uneven.
Step 3: Temper the Milk
Heat the milk until hot but not boiling. Slowly pour the milk into the egg mixture while whisking continuously to prevent scrambling.
