Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

In a large saucepan, heat 4 cups of milk over medium heat until steaming. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir in the egg yolks and the remaining 1/2 cup of milk.
Whisk half of the hot milk into the egg mixture until smooth, then gradually whisk the egg-milk mixture into the saucepan. Heat over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until it thickens to the consistency of pudding, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Cool slightly, stirring several times to prevent a skin from forming. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the pudding and refrigerate until completely cool and set, about 4 hours.
Before serving, stir the pudding vigorously until smooth.
