Ingredients
- 450 ml whole milk
- 3 medium egg yolks
- 120 g sugar
- 60 g all-purpose flour or 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 orange preferably organic
Instructions
- Use a potato peeler to remove the orange peel, avoiding the bitter white pith. Cut the orange in half and juice it until you have 50ml (about ¼ cup). Set the juice aside.
- In a saucepan, heat the milk and orange peel over medium heat until it’s warm but not boiling. Remove from heat and let the orange peel infuse for a few minutes, then discard the orange peel.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks, orange juice and sugar until light and creamy. Add sifted flour in and mix until smooth.
- Slowly pour a little warm milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Gradually add the rest of the milk while stirring.
- Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens (about 5 minutes).
- Transfer the orange pastry cream to a shallow dish, cover with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface), and let it cool completely before using.
