1
Bring milk to boil on stovetop in small saucepan or in microwave-safe bowl in microwave.
2
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan whisk together sugar, cornstarch, egg yolks, and salt. While vigorously whisking, add 1/4 cup hot milk to temper, then continue whisking and add remaining milk in a slow, steady stream.
3
Add cinnamon stick and bring the mixture to boil over medium heat, whisking constantly; mixture will thicken to the consistency of yogurt. Continue to boil for 1 to 2 minutes.
4
Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla extract. Remove and discard cinnamon stick.
5
Strain custard into large bowl and serve warm with a dusting of ground cinnamon. Alternatively, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the atolillo's surface and refrigerate until cold, then serve chilled.
