Ingredients
- 20 g Flour, all-purpose
- 20 g Butter, unsalted
- 25 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 60 g Milk, whole
- 20 g Sugar
- 6 g Cornstarch
- 0.3 g Vanilla extract

Method
- Bring a little water and half the butter to a boil, then off the heat beat in the flour all at once to form a smooth ball of dough; cool slightly, then beat in the egg until glossy to make a choux pastry.
- Spread the choux pastry into 2 thin layers on lined trays and bake at 200 °C (400 °F) for 20-25 minutes until puffed, golden and dry; cool completely.
- Whisk the milk, sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened into a custard, 4-5 minutes; off the heat, beat in the remaining butter and the vanilla until glossy.
- Sandwich the two choux layers with the custard filling, spreading it in an even layer.
