Put the milk to boil, and add the sliced vanilla pod with its seeds.
Meanwhile, mix together the egg yolks and the sugar, until it gets white and creamy.
Once the milk has boiled, add it gradually to the previous mix, then put it back in the pot, and on medium heat.
With a wooden spoon, constantly stir the mix. Once there is no more foam, and the cream covers the spoon, the creme anglaise is ready. Take it immediatly out of the heat, it can't boil or it will be bad and have clots in it.
Pour the creme in a large dish so it can cool down quickly. There you are !
