1. Combine the sugar, eggs, and yolk in a medium mixing bowl and whisk until thickened, pale, and foamy — about 3 minutes.
2. Sift the cornstarch through a fine-mesh sieve into the egg mixture then whisk to combine. Set the bowl on a wet towel (to prevent scooting) and set near the cooktop. Position the sieve over a second mixing bowl and set aside.
3. Combine the milk and salt in a 3-quart saucepan or saucier and bring to a bare simmer over medium heat — 3 to 5 minutes. Once hot, drizzle about a third of the milk into the sugar and egg mixture, all the while continuously whisking the eggs. Then reverse course and —still whisking — pour the now-warmed egg mixture back into the pot with the milk. Congratulations, you just tempered.
4. Move the pan back over medium heat and whisk spiritedly. As the mixture just begins to resist the whisk, drop the heat to low and keep whisking until the mixture turns thick and just begins to bubble. This thickening process should take between 1 and 3 minutes.
