How to make Pastry Cream?

Every one likes a cake moisturized with cream.
This pastry cream is from France - this is like a very thick custard. Easy and tasty, it is not very sweet and is totally versatile to please many tastes.
1 liter of cream can be easily split in 2-3 lots with 2-3 different flavors. 


Plain vanilla pastry cream
Ingredients for one liter (~10 big choux ):
- 1 liter milk
- 1 Tbsp vanilla essence
- 6 yolks+2 eggs
- 250 g sugar
- 100 g flour



1) boil milk and vanilla together
2) beat the eggs and the sugar together
3) add the flour
4) pour the boiling milk on the mixture
5) turn continuously until you have the consistency as thick as you like - 5-8 min max.
6) flavor it the way you want
7 ) use it according to your recipe or inside choux pastry.
