Stir yeast and sugar into warm water in a small
bowl; let stand until foamy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Warm butter and milk together in a small sauce-
pan over low heat so that the butter melts but
the milk does not exceed 110˚F (if mixture is hot-
ter than 110°, allow to cool to 105–110°F before
continuing). Reserve. Combine the flour and
cornstarch in a separate bowl; reserve.
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks,
milk and butter mixture, yeast mixture,
1
⁄4 cup
of the sugar, salt, and vanilla. Stir in the milk
and flour/cornstarch mixture alternately, ending
with the flour. Wrap in plastic and let stand until
mixture is doubled in volume, about an hour.
