In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and half of the granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not let it boil.
While the milk and cream mixture is heating, separate the egg yolks into a mixing bowl. Add the remaining granulated sugar and cornstarch to the egg yolks, and whisk until well combined and slightly thickened.
Slice the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds using a small knife. Add both the vanilla seeds and the pod to the milk and cream mixture.
Once the milk and cream mixture is steaming, slowly ladle about 1/3 cup into the egg mixture while whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.
Gradually whisk the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the milk and cream. Continue to cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and discard the vanilla pod. Stir the butter into the sauce until melted and fully incorporated.
Pour the finished sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps or cooked egg bits. Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving or refrigerating.
Serve warm or chilled over your favorite desserts, such as bread pudding, pancakes, or fresh berries.
