Not too Fancy or too Difficult Pastry Cream

Ingredients
  1. 16 oz. milk
  2. 2 oz. sugar
  3. 1½ oz. egg yolks
  4. 2 oz. whole eggs
  5. 1.25 oz. cornstarch

  1. Dissolve 2 oz. sugar in the milk and bring to just a boil.
  2. Beat the egg yolks and whole eggs together in a bowl.
  3. Sift the cornstarch and 2 oz. sugar into the eggs and whip until perfectly smooth.
  4. Temper the eggs into the milk, return to the heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  5. Mixture should come to a boil and then make a “glug, glug” sound.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla.
