1. In a bowl, mix the egg yolks with the sugar and a pinch of salt until creamy and light in color.

1. Add the cornstarch and mix until well combined.

1. Gradually pour the warm milk over the egg yolk mixture, stirring continuously to prevent the eggs from curdling.

1. Strain the mixture back into the saucepan to remove the vanilla pod and any lumps.

1. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk, until the pudding thickens and reaches a creamy consistency. Once it reaches the desired texture, remove from heat and pour the pudding into a bowl.
