Whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth, then whisk in the pasteurized egg yolks until fully incorporated.

Set the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the custard thickens and large bubbles begin to break the surface, about 8–10 minutes. Once bubbling, continue whisking for 1 full minute — the custard should be thick enough to mound slightly on the whisk.
