 * 2) Scald milk and take off the heat.
 * 3) Using a ladle, temper the egg yolk mixture by adding a small quantity of milk to the bowl and then whisking together quickly (don't allow the yolks to cook or you will get a grainy final product).

 * 5) Add this mixture to the saucepan with the remaining milk and blend together well.
 * 6) Using a wooden spoon, cook the sauce over a low heat, stirring constantly and making sure that the bottom is continually scraped.
