Pastry Cream



- 1 vanilla bean
- 5 dl milk
- 150 grams sugar
- 4 big eggyolks
- 2 tablespoons flour

Method

1. Start with the vanilla bean.Slice it open and scrape out all of the seeds. You won't lose anything because vanilla is very sticky.
 
 






2. Place a pan with 5 dl milk on a medium heat. Add the vanilla. Boil the milk.
 3. Seperate the 4 eggs. Make sure that there are no eggwhites! Mix the 4 eggyolks with half of the sugar (75 grams) until it starts to foam.









4. Add 2 tablespoons of flour to the eggmixture and stir until it gets thick.

5. Add a bit of the boiling milk to the eggmixture. Mix it properly and add the egg/milkmixture to the rest of the milk.Stir until the cream has an even yellow color.








6. Boil the pastry cream for about 3 minutes. It has to look like boiling lava. Pour the mixture into a container and store in the fridge.









7.  The pastry cream should be completely cool before you use it.
