Gluten-Free Cream Puffs

Instructions

1. 1

   In a pot off the heat, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Add the egg and egg yolk. Mix well. Add the hot milk and vanilla. Bring to a boil over medium heat while whisking constantly and scraping the bottom and sides of the pot, just until the mixture thickens. Simmer over low heat for 2 minutes.

2. 2

   Strain the pastry cream through a sieve, as needed. Transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the cream. Let cool. Refrigerate until completely chilled, about 3 hours. When ready to use, mix with a spatula until creamy and smooth.
