Making Pastry Cream

[itsjustdeb579]

ok.. 1 cup of sugar is way too sweet.

Here is my recipe

1 1/2 cups milk ( or half&half)

4 egg yolks ( i like the flavor of the yolk)

1/4 cup of sugar

2 tbls plus 2 tsp of cornstarch

1 tbls all purpose flour

1 tsp of good vanilla

You dont have to do an ice bath. Just follow the video and put a layer of plastic over the top.

It will look lumpy, not because there are lumps, but because it is very thick.

[JMFricks]

Use about six egg yolks, one vanilla bean, corn starch (to thicken), sugar. Put on stove, stir with whisk until mixture begins to thicken and bubble up. Take off stove, and then put in about 4 ounces of unsalted butter in spoon fulls and stir it in

Then put in ice bath and keep stirring until it is sufficiently cooled, be sure to taste. Either store away or get a pastry bag out or make chocolate mousse :)

If you do not want to share your exact recipe with other people " All measurements and ingredient ect. " . It is frustrating to watch your video. Please list all measurement in the future video so do not waste people time.

Thanks

[qwertyismymom]

from what I could tell visually, here it is:

-1 cup sugar

-2 eggs + 1 yolk (4 egg yolks will work too)

-about 20g flour (you can do this manually to adjust the thickness of your cream)

-2 cups of Half & Half Cream (2-10% milk fat will work)

by "risk cooking the eggs" she meant coagulating the eggs, they're still cooked (for the apprehensive bunch)

*you can throw in a tablespoon of vanilla for more flavor too.

[Beecozz7]

No recipe??? Not good!!!

[daquach91]

That looks a tad lumpy... maybe run it through a sieve?

And yes, measurements would be nice.

[hillaryous19]

@daquach91 It also gets lumpy if you overcook it-- I've had that problem before and sometimes it can't be saved, which is a bummer. Also agreed about the measurements.

[nabeelhayat]

10 for effort 2 for recipe..........

[nabeelhayat]

@ShaoTanto half cream half milk, itz called half and half

[moonbal]

looks lumpy and just horrible

[iamsocrunchy]

@ShaoTanto

half and half is an ingredient... you can buy it at the grocery store in the dairy aisle. It's half milk, half heavy whipping cream.

[MufF1N01]

wow that looks lumpy

[JVL8701]

this cream sucks....! 

[talentscoutjoe]

How in the world can you post, without showing the exact measurements of the recipe?....

[iononcentro]

It might taste good, but this is not Pastry Cream. Egg white in a Creme Patissiere? Not in a milion years! Also, when making cream, any kind of cream...we do not want air in the compound, we are not preparing a sponge cake! So, electric blender or  mixers are off limit.

These people place very general instructions, which is fantastic for those who seek simplicity.

I wish I could see her face, I liked her hands.

Chef-

[mumuy60]

60g sugar,500ml milk/ 2egg yolks,1whole egg,30g cornstarch,60g sugar/ 60g butter,1Tsp vanilla...

[M4037331]

good...now show us how to use that creammmmm:(

[dtfageet]

I like to have the inside of my asshole eaten out with some mustard after it has been stretched by a large penis and leaking blood.

[iskanderlatiff]

half milk, half heavy cream

[oldbag699]

what is the half and half ????

does anybody know the quanitities ???

[noboudaries10]

<3 how they give us the proportions, don't you?

[Itipcows]

i know! Its rediculous! When I made this I got the porportions all wrong and caused a chemical reaction which blew my friends face and left arm off. They really need to include some more detail in this video

[wdgeo]

Might I suggest leaving out the semtex-h and instead just using one additional egg yoke.

[Itipcows]

i wish you wouldve told me that earlier. Then maybe Whiskers would still be alive

[wdgeo]

Poor whiskers. :(

But I'm sure he didn't die in vain... you probably made a delicious stir-fry out of him, didn't you?

I find that nitroglycerin makes a lovely substitute for sesame oil!

[Itipcows]

Did I !! How delicious he was! I actually made a caeser salad and tossed in his tender remains. Chewy? Yes.

[oldbag699]

semtex lol lol lol kaaaaaaaaaaaaaboooooooommmmmm

[happyidiottalk]

You're silly, but I liked it. \o/

[Itipcows]

thanks you :) i like your \o/

[li1destiny]

[tysa888]

here are the proportions :

1/2 l milk, 50g flour, 125g caster sugar, 1 egg, 3 egg yolks, vanilla.

Bon appétit !...

[amazemagic]

For those who are not quite sure what they are talking about, it is absolutely definitely necessary to boil pastry cream (in a professional enterprise). This pasteurizes it.

Having said that, boiling is not the same as burning...

[anya2905]

i'm sorry, whats half and half? can i substitute it with milk?

[seabreezed]

half and half is equal parts milk and cream.. can buy in most grocers

[chngjingying]

What kind of cooking is this? 00

If I'm not blind the cream already hardened somewhere in the middle.

[jonesgerard]

You're not blind, she burnt the bottom of the pan and scrambled it in the middle, another amateur mess.

[killthegangstas]

this stupid women cant cook if u boil the cream it will curdle and you will have a fancy version of scrambled eggs and you will have to start again

[Doughnutchef]

Earth to all cooking novices>the eggs won't cook > if added slow because by adding the flour(starch)and sugar,she has effectively raised the necessary temperature for the proteins in the yolks to bind.Another excellent way is to whisk all ingreds. with only 1/2 the liquid,stir constantly over very low heat,when thickening add remainder liquid, then remove from heat.

[lizzay127]

Did it not occur to the people who made this video to give the viewers the actual recipe?

[iamgod000]

stupid bitch, this is the difference between chefs and cooks (people who cook at home etc.) ... and the mix caught on the bottom of the pan!

[blackreazor]

she is doing it the wrong way, is not a good idea to boil the creme.

[michaelnrdx]

The recipe says to bring it to a boil. Wouldn't the eggs curdle? I'm going to check with Julia Child.

[RLomoterenge]

Don't let it boil. You are right, it's not a good thing to do.

[martysutc12]

why do you people do recipes without the correct measurments

[RLomoterenge]

Perfection all the time. Also it's much more easier to teach when you have the proper quantities.

[naruxhinafan]

ahhh finally so i have been doing it right...but a little bit different on the milk part....thats why i kept failing! XD

[mindfreakzz]

this is so delicious ive made 1 and it tasted great =D

[bachurotseirot]

Hi. Great video! Keep up the good work!!!

[PrplRabbit]

I agree, but you can find recipes on google or something, I always do that, and use the video as a visual guide.

[PrplRabbit]

Baking a cake this week, can't wait to use this.

[janamarielle]

whats haf na haf? milk and cream?

[xokatlyn07]

it is half milk half sugar so the milk doesnt burn

[icankickyourasshole]

It's very easy to accidentally make pastry cream too thick if it stays at too high a heat too long on the burner. It's worth noting that you can lighten it up by folding in whipped cream as needed to get the desired consistency.
