How to cook deliciously - Capirotada de Leche

1. Stage

Mix 1 cup milk and cornstarch in a bowl until no lumps remain.

2. Stage

Combine remaining 3 cups milk in a large pan with cinnamon stick and vanilla bean. Stir in milk-cornstarch mixture. Hold an egg yolk over the bowl and break its skin to release the inner yolk into the bowl; discard the skin. Repeat to add remaining yolks and whisk to combine. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.

3. Stage

Reduce heat to medium-low, and add condensed milk. Taste to see if it's sweet enough; if not, add sugar. Cook and stir until it's thick like a yogurt drink, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat. Remove and discard cinnamon stick and vanilla bean.

4. Stage

Grease a 9x13-inch pan with butter. Slice dinner rolls into 1/2-inch thick pieces.

5. Stage

Making about 3 or 4 layers in the prepared pan, start with a layer of bread. Cover bread with some of the milk mixture, but don't overdo it. Decorate with pecans, raisins, coconut, and sprinkles. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used up. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
