Method
Put the milk in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat.
In a bowl whisk the egg yolks & sugar together until light and thick. Whisk in the flour. Pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking until smooth.
Return the mix to the saucepan and return to the heat. This is to cook the flour to stop the crème ptissière having a floury taste. Bring to the boil, while whisking constantly until the mixture relaxes (softens slightly).
Remove from the heat and mix in the vanilla essence.
Transfer to a clean bowl. Cover with clingfilm, making sure to press it onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin forming. Use when cold.
Variation: Replace the caster sugar with Chelsea Soft Brown Sugar for a caramel flavour and colour.
