Caster Sugar
Series 2, Episode 5. Use this delicious patisserie custard for filling pastries - remember to save the egg whites to make meringues or pavlova! See link below for Gateau St. Honore recipe.
For the crème patissiere, whisk the egg yolks and a third of the sugar in a bowl until light in colour and fluffy. Add the flour and mix thoroughly.
In a large pan, heat the milk, vanilla paste and the rest of the sugar. When it comes to the boil, pour it over the egg yolk mixture and whisk together. Transfer to a clean saucepan, bring it back to the boil - whisking continuously - and cook for a few minutes until thick.
Pass through a sieve into a bowl and put some cling film directly onto the surface to prevent a skin forming. Transfer to the fridge to chill.
Beat until smooth again before use and place in a piping bag fitted with a plain round ½ cm nozzle.
