French Pastry Cream step by step video recipe (crème Patissiere)

Pastry cream cream or (creme patissiere) is used in vanilla slice, puffs, eclairs and all kinds of Danish pastries. Nothing beats a homemade pastry cream. it may not look like it but i can assure you you never tried something that good!
it is plain addictive, once you try it you will never stop making it. you can use it anytime you are baking and its great recipe for kids too. (leave the rum out)

Ingredients used in this video:

3 to 4 egg yolks (based on medium size eggs)
50 grams ( 6 tablespoons) of plain flour

half a vanilla pod
Half a liter (2 cups) of milk
a nudge (2 teaspoons) of butter for the glazing

3 cl (2 tablespoons) of rum

For large quantities, these are the ingredients needed per liter of milk used:

8 egg yolks

Thankyou. You give so clear and detailed instructions that it makes it easy for us to attempt.

[Sunwell]

This is lovely. Ill try experimenting ( Our recipe is a little bit quite similar, so I guess that I am on the right track). I wanted a more "sturdy" version of pastry cream.

[scottsnodgrass]

I really expected that you would temper the egg yolks first but apparently it works. Can’t wait to try it. Love your channel!

[natiavshalom]

[jbkhan]

I made this tonight and it's absolutely delicious! Highly recommend! I had to keep it on low though, when cooking the finished creme as it started to get a little brown at the bottom of the pan. Otherwise it turned out amazingly well!
