Mix 210 grams of very soft unsalted butter and 250 grams of light brown sugar until creamed together.

Add a pinch of salt and 250 grams of plain flour, mixing until crumbly.

Finish mixing by hand to form a soft dough.

Roll out the dough between two pieces of greaseproof paper to about 2 millimeters thickness.

Chill the rolled dough in the freezer for at least an hour.

In a saucepan, heat 675 milliliters of whole milk with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until simmering.

In a bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 2 large egg yolks, caster sugar, and corn flour until pale and fluffy.

Slowly pour the hot milk over the egg mixture while whisking continuously.

Return the mixture to the pan and cook over medium heat, whisking until thickened and bubbling.

Pass the mixture through a fine sieve to remove lumps and cover with cling film to cool.
