1 ounce butter
1/2 vanilla bean
3 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cake flour
4 eggs
23 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups sifted cake flour
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/2 cup Grand Marnier

Directions

1

In a bowl, mix with a whisk the eggs, sugar, cornstarch and flour.
2

Bring milk to a boil with butter and vanilla bean.
3

When it has boiled, pour 1/2 cup of milk over the egg mixture, which keeps the pastry cream from curdling.
4

Add the mixture to the rest of the milk, and cook for about 3 minutes until mixture becomes stiff, whisking the entire time.
5

Press a piece of wax paper directly on the surface of the pastry cream to keep it from forming a skin.
6

Cool the pastry cream.
