Bring the custard to a boil, whisking the whole time. Allow the custard to boil for 1 minute. Then add the butter. Continue whisking for 1 more minute.
Remove the custard filling from heat and whisk in the vanilla.

Pour the custard into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. The wrap should be touching the top of the custard. Refrigerate for 6 hours or until set.
Notes
This custard is delicious when it's fresh and warm! However it's also great once it has set and taken on more of a pudding consistency, We eat it plain, in granola and fruit parfaits, and I use it as the base of custard/cream pies.
