Prepare the sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the egg yolks, flour, and cornstarch
Add the milk and whisk well
Heat over low heat, whisking constantly, until thickened (about 10 minutes)
Add the vanilla extract and whisk
Remove from heat and let cool
Cover with plastic wrap in direct contact with the cream to prevent a skin from forming
Let cool completely
Cube the pannettone into 8 slices, 2 cm thick
Cube each slice into 4 quarters and set aside
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and flour
Set aside
Heat a large non-stick skillet with a little butter over medium heat
Dip the pannettone cubes in the egg mixture and fry in the butter until golden brown on both sides (about 1 minute and 30 seconds per side)
Reserve on a plate
Wipe the skillet clean with a little more butter as you cook the remaining pieces or when the bread pudding starts to stick to the bottom
Serve the bread pudding warm with the cooled sauce on the side
