In a small mixing bowl, combine the sugar and egg yolks.
Using a ladle, introduce ⅓ of the hot mixture to the egg yolks and sugar, this is called tempering. It will allow the egg yolks to be warmed, prior to adding to the hot pan. This way they won’t scramble.

I really want to try this recipe, However IMHO, 1 Tbsp. of sugar is not nearly enough for this amount of custard, even taking into account the sugar in the small amount of condensed milk. Also, 1 Tbsp. weighs approx. 12 grams, not 45. Going by weight would probably give you enough sugar.
