Ingredients
- half a liter of milk
- 40 grams of corn flour
- 125 grams of sugar
- 50 grams of butter
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Preparation
Step 1. Mix
The first thing you should do is mix the milk with the vanilla in a pan over the heat until it reaches a boiling point. Then you have to remove and reserve waiting for the temperature to drop completely.
Step 2. Stir
Then, you have to put the egg yolks with the sugar in a bowl until you achieve a completely homogeneous mixture. Then dissolve the cornmeal little by little by adding a little cold milk and then you have to incorporate it into the mixture. You must do it this way so that the pastry cream is perfect and without lumps.
Step 3. Incorporate
Once you have incorporated the corn flour without stopping stirring, you must be careful that the milk is not too hot so that the yolks do not cook. That’s why you should check that the milk is at room temperature before adding it to the mixture.
Step 4. Enjoy
When the mixture is ready, you should put it on a low heat and keep stirring to prevent it from sticking and wait for it to thicken. Then when you have the consistency of pastry cream, you must remove from the heat and add the melted butter that will give it the necessary creaminess to make it an incredible pastry cream. Enjoy in your incredible desserts!
