Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 cups milk, divided

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

  • 1/3 cup white sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 large egg yolks

  • 1/4 cup butter

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Whisk 1/3 of the cold milk and cornstarch together in a medium bowl until smooth.

  2. Pour remaining milk and sugar into a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until milk begins to simmer; remove from heat and set aside.

  3. Stir egg and egg yolks into cornstarch mixture; gradually whisk in hot milk. Pour mixture back into the small saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring constantly until thickened, about 3 to 5 minutes.

  4. Remove custard from heat and let cool slightly; whisk in butter and vanilla until smooth.

Tips

Pass creme patissiere through a fine mesh strainer if you prefer a very smooth custard.

Chill the creme pat in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before using for best results.
