Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups whole milk
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 1 cup + 2 tbsp granulated white sugar
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tbsp vanilla bean paste
  • 3 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, cut in cubes
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar (for rolling the dough in)
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar (for the brulee topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pastry cream by heating whole milk and half of the sugar until simmering. Whisk together egg yolks, remaining sugar, salt, cornstarch, and vanilla bean paste in another bowl. Combine both mixtures and cook until thickened. Cool and chill.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Cream softened butter with granulated sugar until fluffy; add egg and vanilla bean paste. Mix dry ingredients separately before combining with wet ingredients.
  3. Scoop dough onto lined baking sheets; create indentations for pastry cream filling. Enclose cream with dough and roll in sugar.
  4. Bake for 9 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Allow cooling slightly before caramelizing sugar on top using a kitchen torch.
