Vanilla Pastry Filling
Ingredients
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1
Collect and prepare all necessary components.
2
Combine milk and 1/4 cup sugar in a substantial saucepan. Heat over medium heat until it reaches boiling point.
3
Mix egg yolks and egg in a moderate-sized bowl. Combine 1/3 cup sugar and cornstarch in another separate bowl; blend into egg mixture until it becomes uniform.
4
Slowly pour the boiled milk into the egg mixture in a thin, continuous flow while continuously mixing to avoid cooking the eggs.
5
Return the egg mixture back into the saucepan; gradually bring it to a boil, stirring persistently to prevent the mixture from becoming lumpy or burnt.
6
Once the mixture thickens, remove it from heat and thoroughly blend in butter and vanilla until fully incorporated.
7
Transfer the mixture into a heat-resistant container; cover it with a sheet of plastic wrap, making sure to press it firmly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until chilled before utilizing.
