In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, flour, sugar, and salt until well combined.

Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until the butter is melted and the filling is smooth.
