Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 large egg yolks
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large sauce pan, stir together milk and ¼ cup sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together egg, egg yolks, cornstarch, and ⅓ cup sugar.
- Once the milk has reached a simmer, work quickly and carefully pour half of the hot milk in a steady stream into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid curdling or cooking the eggs. Immediately pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan, whisking constantly. Return to a medium heat and whisk constantly until mixture thickens.
- Remove from heat once thickened and stir in butter and vanilla until melted. Pour into a clean mixing bowl and cover with plastic wrap, letting the plastic wrap touch the top of the pastry cream to avoid the creation of any film on top.
- Cool completely in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before using.
