How Do You Make Vanilla Pastry Cream?
How to Make Vanilla Pastry Cream Saturday July 18, 2009 Recently I enjoyed making another cooking video, this time How to Make Vanilla Pastry Cream. Vanilla pastry cream, or crme ptissire, is a classic French recipe that’s used in dessert and pastries like profiteroles, cream puffs, clairs and many more. Pastry Cream is basically a form of custard sauce – cream, eggs and sugar. Custard of course is the perfect accompaniment to many a British pudding but it’s the addition of starch (usually flour, corn starch or a mixture of both) that makes a custard into a pastry cream. Check out the video and see just how easy it is to make. •
