Mille-feuille
Serves 8
Ingredients
6 egg yolks
100g caster sugar
40g plain flour, sifted
500ml creamy milk
1 vanilla pod, split in half lengthways
1kg all-butter puff pastry
400-500g strawberry jam
icing sugar, to serve
Method: Whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until pale, then whisk in the flour Heat the milk with the vanilla pod until almost boiling, then remove from the heat. Add to the egg mixture, gently whisking, then pass the mixture through a sieve into the pan. Bring back to the boil, whisking, and cook for a minute or so. Allow to cool if you sift over a little icing sugar it will stop a skin forming. Chill for an hour. Preheat the oven to 200C/gas mark 6. Cut the puff pastry into six and roll out each piece into evenly-sized rectangles, cm thick. Prick all over with a fork to prevent the pastry rising too much as it cooks. Bake for about 15 minutes, deep gold. When cool, trim so they are all the same size. To assemble, place a layer of pastry on a board; spread with a fifth of the strawberry jam and then a fifth of the custard over the top, to cover. Gently lay the next pastry sheet on top and repeat. Once the final sheet is in place on top, press gently to stabilise the tower, but try not to let the surface crack. Dust with sifted icing sugar, then transfer to a serving plate.
