Preparation instructions
1. Preparation of the shortcrust pastry
-
In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt and sugar.
-
Add the cold, diced butter. Rub in with your fingertips until you get a sandy texture.
-
Gradually add the cold water until a smooth ball forms. Do not overwork the dough.
-
Cover and let stand in a cool place for 30 minutes.
2. Preparation of the custard cream
-
In a large saucepan, heat the milk with the split and scraped vanilla pod. Bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat.
-
In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks, whole eggs and sugar until the mixture whitens.
-
Add the sifted cornstarch to the egg-sugar mixture and whisk until smooth.
-
Gently pour the hot milk (without the pod) over the mixture while whisking, then pour back into the saucepan.
-
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened. As soon as the cream becomes thick (like pastry cream), remove from heat.
