~Preheat oven to 350F (170C).

~In a separate bowl, whisk together remaining Granulated Sugar, Confectioner's Sugar and Cornstarch until evenly combined. Whisk remaining Milk, Eggs and Egg Yolks into this mixture.

~Temper Egg mixture by slowly adding 1/3 of hot Milk mixture while constantly stirring to ensure the eggs don't get cooked and scrambled.
