Ingredients<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/2 cup granulated sugar
4 large egg yolks
2 cups whole milk
1\/4 cup cornstarch
1\/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creamy Baked Spaghetti with Cheese<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creamy Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Savory Pork Chops with Creamy Scalloped Potatoes<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vanilla Chiffon Cake<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructions<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heat Milk: In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it simmers. Remove from heat and set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whisk Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and salt until smooth and pale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temper Eggs: Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. This prevents them from scrambling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Return to Heat: Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and return to medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add Vanilla: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incorporate Butter: Add the diced butter to the pastry cream and stir until melted and fully incorporated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strain (Optional): For an extra smooth texture, strain the pastry cream through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chill: Cover the pastry cream with plastic wrap, ensuring it touches the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serve or Store: Use the pastry cream as a filling for cakes, \u00e9clairs, cream puffs, tarts, or any other pastry of your choice. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
