Preparation
- Step 1
Rinse a deep pot with cold water (to prevent scorching), and pour in milk and vanilla and bring to a boil.
- Step 2
While milk is heating, whisk egg yolks and sugar in a mixing bowl until the combination is thick enough to form ribbons. Gradually mix in the flour.
- Step 3
Pour hot milk into the egg mixture very gradually - one ladle at a time - while whisking vigorously. Pour mixture back into the pot and cook over medium flame while whisking constantly until mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Let it boil for 30 seconds, while whisking, to cook the flour. Transfer mixture to a stainless-steel bowl. Dot with butter to avoid formation of a crust.
This is more than you need for the mille-feuille; excess can be saved and served with fresh fruit or in other desserts.
