PREPARING THE CUSTARD:

In a saucepan, heat the milk until it warms a little. In a saucepan, combine the flour, sugar and vanilla extract with the egg yolks and whisk until fluffy. Milk should be added gradually and whisked until no lumps remain.

Bring the mixture to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the cream thickens.

Reduce the temperature and cook for a few more minutes until it reaches the appropriate thickness you want.

In a glass dish, pour the cream and cover it with plastic wrap and let it cool. Let cool for at least an hour before serving.

PREPARING THE PASTRY HORNS:

Step 1:

Set the oven temperature to 400 degrees. Sprinkle more sugar over the surface and top of the puff pastry, then roll it out into a rectangle about 9 by 12 inches. Cut the dough into 12 strips, then roll each strip into a conical shape, covering the crust by about half its length.

2nd step:

Put parchment paper on a baking sheet and lay the strip side down. Then whisk an egg with a tablespoon of water and gently brush each cone of dough with the egg wash.

Step 3:

Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes or until top is golden brown, cool for a few minutes, then carefully remove from pan.

Garnish every portion with cream and sprinkle with powdered sugar before presenting it to the table.
