    Combine 1 cup sugar, flour, and salt in a thick kettle; stir in milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, constantly stirring with a wooden spoon. Boil and stir for two additional minutes. Blend a small amount of the hot mixture into beaten egg yolks; return all to kettle and cook one minute. Do not boil. Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla; stir well.
