CUSTARD CORE SUPPLY RECIPES

Steps:

• Warm up the milk until hot (not boiling).
• In a medium sized pan, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar, vanilla extract and flour, until light and fluffy.
• Add the milk some at a time while whisking, making sure there are no lumps.
• Place the pan over medium heat and stir continuously until it reaches a slow boil. The cream will thicken, so be careful not to let it stick to the bottom. Lower the flame and cook for a couple of more minutes, until you reach the desire thickness.
• Pour the cream in a glass bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let it cool down. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Sprinkle some sugar on the counter and on top of the puff pastry and roll it out to a rectangle about 9 by 12 inches.
• Cut into 12 stripes (about 1 inch thick). Easy way to do it: cut the pastry in three parts, and then each part into four strips.
• Roll each strip onto a horn mold (conical in shape). The pastry has to overlap (about half of the length).
• Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper with seem (end of the strip) side down.
• Beat one egg with one tablespoon of water. Brush lightly each pastry cone with the egg wash.
• Make sure you keep the egg wash away from the mold. It will make it harder to remove the pastry horn from the mold once baked.
• Bake at 400°F (200 °C) for about 15-20 minutes until golden on top.
• Let them cool down for a couple of minutes and gently remove from the mold. If the pastry sticks to the mold, you can press in the mold a little (to make the circumference smaller) and very gently turn it inside the pastry until it comes off.
• Before serving, fill with the cream using a piping bag. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if you like, and enjoy!
