Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it foamy for 5 minutes.
  2. Add melted butter, eggs, flour, and salt. Blend until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
  3. Cover the bowl and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 2 hours until doubled in size.
  4. On a floured surface, divide dough into 12 equal portions and roll into balls. Place in greased muffin tins.
  5. Let rise again for 30-40 minutes covered with a towel.
  6. In a saucepan, whisk egg yolks, sugar, milk, and cornstarch. Cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Let cool slightly before filling the brioches.
  8. Create a small well in each brioche and fill with custard. Let rest for 15-20 minutes.
  9. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Check periodically.
