[A HERETIC I AM]

49. Making "Creme Patisserie" or Pastry Cream is exceedingly easy....

And incredibly decadent. It just takes a bit of time. Adding it to your delicious sounding Fancy Schmancy would put it over the top!

There’s a shitload of videos on how to make it on YouTube, the only drawback is it takes time in the fridge to cool. So just make it first!

Simple;

Heat milk with Vanilla.
Whisk egg yolks with sugar and a small bit of flour or cornstarch.

Start slowly adding the hot milk, tempering the yolks, then add it all, whisking vigorously.

Back into the saucepan stirring till thickened, then into a bowl, cover with cling film (right down on the surface to keep a skin from forming) and chill it.

Add lemon zest and juice, or Orange, or anything similar as flavoring.

Same stuff that is in an eclair or a Boston Cream Pie or a Napoleon, etc.
