1. In a heavy medium nonreactive saucepan, mix 1/2 cup of the sugar with the cornstarch and salt. Stir in the egg yolks until blended, and gradually whisk in the milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly, and cook until thickened, about 6 to 8 minutes.
2. Remove from the heat and stir in the sherry and the vanilla. Transfer to a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming on top. Refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours. (Natillas will have a creamy soft consistency.) Spoon into small dessert bowls and serve cold. Garnish, if desired. Pudding keeps, covered and refrigerated, up to 3 days.
