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.
